Lullaby Series Iv

Lullaby IV

I wish, one time, to ride
across the years to you
upon the back of the coal black mare
whose hooves are indigo hue

once there I’ll hang about your neck
hold you fast to me;
make you swear on our true love
you’ll ne’er return to the sea.

I really do like these "Lullaby" poems you pen, Patricia...this one, however -- is really special! Deserves far more applause than it has so far received...it really is so very good. As a poem it does exactly what you want it to do: effortlessly sliding of the tongue in highly descriptive imagery - brilliant! :) john
