HORSEBACK RIDING


Last night i realized
this poet is like a wild horse
and I have mounted her back.

Sometimes posing.
Sometimes holding on for dear life.

  3. Wow, thanks Rachel. So many fabulous things going on, in 5 lines! I really like the colored line changes (perhaps an idea for a future prompt? - inner conversations? two poems interleaved, delineated by color?

    I relate to the rolicking race, pose and then grip.

  4. Rachel -- so simple, and yet so poignant. I had no idea you could write like this. With just a few short words, you invoke something so visceral. Nice.
