Hunters Pace

HUNTERs PACE

Let the horse throw ya
why don’t ya

yada yada yada
yabba dabba doo

remember though 
the stallion relies

on your stamina
and pride

to land feet first
on the saddle

so saddle up
for this wild ride

life will toss you
high

don’t go low
watch out

b

H E L L O

you made it my friend
quite a trick

now time to jump
the stick

at a hunter’s pace
wild and free

to eternity
godspeed

Judy Ball January 11, 2021 at 1:22 PM Life itself is a wild and wonderful ride. Sort of like riding an untried horse. Once you have won the horse's trust it's great. Loved this one. Great job. God Bless, JB Kim Rodrigues January 11, 2021 at 1:27 PM Oh and you must win their trust and also let them know who is in charge. Thank you, sweet Judy!

Constance La France January 11, 2021 at 9:14 AM Kim, lovely poem as a horse lover there is nothing more divine, well done _Constance Kim Rodrigues January 11, 2021 at 1:25 PM I’ve only rode a few times but every time was momentous! Once on a Cozumel Beach, through the beautiful Yukon and the other has quite a story. Thank you!

Victor Buhagiar January 11, 2021 at 6:00 AM I never rode a horse. My poor wife did. Lovely poem. ~~ Kim Rodrigues January 11, 2021 at 1:24 PM So cool to ride a horse! I rode a few time, once at Emerald Lake in the Yukon of Canada. I held on tight for awhile but had to loosen up as we were on a two hour trail. Thank you!
