M. L. Kiser Poet Shadorma

A Wild Dream

A Shadorma

A wild horse
freedom’s fiery flight
courage is
his nature
power to face Gaia’s moods
flaming transitions.

A stabled
steed quickly fattened
fortitude’s
broken back
long days awake memories
no longer made, stilled.

In corral
fleeting dreams arise
greet the day
breaking free
one jump and freedom anew
just keeps beckoning.

Caren Krutsinger September 10, 2019 at 11:28 PM I love to see a horse running free, think it is mean to put horse shoes and bridles on them. Loved this one! M. L. Kiser September 11, 2019 at 2:01 PM Wild horses are one of the last great beautiful sights on this planet. Thanks.

Sandra Adams September 1, 2019 at 8:39 PM love to see horse run wild...they would let them run nightly at a ranch i stayed at in montana, it was so cool to seem the difference in them between stable time and free roam time... enjoyed this one :) M. L. Kiser September 6, 2019 at 5:48 AM My cousin had one that we didn't think he was going to be able to tame. It took quite a while. Thanks much.

Vijay Pandit September 1, 2019 at 7:30 AM I like how you scripted the contrast..a wild horse loving his freedom..a stabled one yearning for his. A superb write. M. L. Kiser September 6, 2019 at 5:48 AM Thanks so much.

Jennifer Proxenos September 1, 2019 at 4:27 AM I this fiction or real - I presume the horse got up and greeted a new day but he has broken his back in the poem, is it just wishful thinking on my part? M. L. Kiser September 6, 2019 at 5:50 AM The wild horse being broken by man and the horse's reluctance to be tamed; he finally breaks free of the corral. No, it's fiction; I was recalling a horse a family member once had. Thanks.
