A nice tanka my friend. I like it that you are branching out and learning so many new types of poetry; it is a display of enthusiasm!

That horse's name reminded me of a Campbell's Soup commercial jingle. They used the melody from the Frank Sinatra hit "Love and Marriage". Campbell Soup was a sponsor of "Lassie" years ago, and the commercial always played on Sunday nights during the show.
