Six-Word Couplet Series Encore

Racer
Flat out speed
Hot blooded steed

  Pacer
Speed walking race
With unmatched grace

  Steeplechaser 
Fearless full fledge
Ace over hedge

  Dressage
Arabesques on display
The equestrian ballet

  Draft
Flowing feathered heels
Beer on wheels

  Trail
Rent the power
By the hour

So agree with the "trail", though I'd never use or abuse one. Randomly wondering through the poetic fields of where Maureen has been. Enjoying the poppy flowers.

Thank you Jeff, for your wandering appreciation of my scribbles. There's a lot of fluff, I almost want to give you a list of my personal favourites... I don't even remember some of these ;) xomo!
