As a Child

 
I tried all the painted horses going round-  round,
with the carousel music . . . a sweet sound;
in time, I was given my own real horse to ride,
but painted horses rode by my side.

This is a wonderful stanza taken from a beautiful write. I also read both of your Painted Horses Leaping poems and found them delightful.

A sincere congratulations on your 3rd Place win in the Rithimus Divisa 3 Poetry Contest, Constance - this was such a tough one to judge, with so many wonderful writes, that it came down to small things in the end. Many kind thanks for submitting, and especially for your patience - this is a gem to be proud of! Blessings, My Friend! - the bard
