Hi Kace, I would imagine a story like this
could have been true at one time or other...
so many different animals are that loyal to
their owners...
I love your story told my wonderful friend...
and glad his horse dragged him to safety...
very well written you...and the picture speaks for
itself....
I hope you and Benny are alright...much love sweetie pie...

I love these loop poems. I hadn't come across them until I joined this site, but I'll have to give it a try sometime. You've made good use of images in this poem, I could really picture the injured man and his faithful horse in the desert, and the contrast with his homeland, and the repetition of the first word carries the story along beautifully. I just hesitated over a couple of points. In the third line of the third verse did you mean accept? I read it as except then realised that wasn't what you'd written. And was the double space between the fourth and fifth verses intended, for example because you intend a longer pause here? I'm struggling with the formatting when I post something so just wasn't sure if it was intentional or not. But overall a very evocative poem

Thank you Sue, I meant except. Not sure about the spacing. Glad you liked my Loop Poem. Bless you, Kay xx

It's sad to think that a man's horse can show more loyalty and compassion for its owner than some other men. I realize this is fiction but I am sure that the story has played out in reality as well.

Wow, it's a loop poem that rhymes about a soldier hoping his horse will save him. They don't make it too tough for you. What a wonderfully written poem. Good luck in the contest! Have a great day, and God bless.

An interesting and different theme for your entry in the rhyming poem contest. A partial loop poem. Great image. I thought it must have been based on a true story for the bond between man and horse is a cllose one. Best wishes for your entry.

Hi Wendy, Much appreciated your reading my poem.
many like this happened when men were shot off their horses during WW11. Bless you, Kay.
Comment from Daylily
This is a very touching posting, especially because of the love and loyalty of that wonderful horse. You told the story so well as a loop poem in abcb rhyme. I really think it's an excellent wonderful and creative work with a terrific painting to underscore the message. Thanks for sharing it, Kay!

Horses are so amazing and even though your story is fiction, I am sure many horses over the years have helped their riders. Excellent tale in poetic form with a happy ending.

I know that horses are beautiful creatures, they were left behind at the end of the war, most of them anyway, beautiful, faithful beasts, who served their masters well. A lot of soldiers were most upset at there having to leave them, beautifully written Loop poem Kay, blessings Roy

Hello Roy, Yes, only one horse came home because the owner paid for it. The soldiers of the Light Horse were told to shoot them, many wouldn't so they let them go and the Arabs looked after them, they love horses. Thanks for reading my friend. Kay xx

How could you shoot a friend? Well done
