Judy Konos Poet Sapphic stanza

Run For the Roses

Three long years pass and now the trumpeter Sounds
As doth the hopefuls tread out upon the track 
Dreams of tomorrow now kindle in the dirt.
Kentucky Derby

Tim Smith April 28, 2015 at 5:26 PM I love the Derby Judy...I cant wait...Tim Judy Konos April 28, 2015 at 6:13 PM Oh but "Dawlin" you must Wait! Don't you just love Dan Fogelbergs' song Run for the Roses...All the long, lazy mornings In pastures of green The sun on your withers The wind in your mane Could never prepare you For what lies ahead The run for the roses so red
