About This Poem

Astride

 To sit a horse in winds of force
With whiskers blowing in the face
Of risking knowing it's a race
Through hills and dales of clinging gorse
To save a little face without remorse
Before the sun has run its course
But mostly just to sit a horse
and feel the mounting joy
beneath my trembled legs
As feelings spread to mind equine
And all our world is ever fine
On dancing hooves I feel are mine

    When I was in grammar school I fell down and slipped a disc which kept me from ever being able to ride a horse. I envy those who can ... it looks very freeing. Been awhile since you've posted here at the Soup, Donald. Hope you return soon with more wonderful writing !!

    sounds so loverly I guess when you know what you're doing it is! Horses like me, I'd don't care much for being looked at by one eye at a time LOL or how very stubborn they can be. Light & Love PS better not to use face twice ;)
