That came out super cute. I would attribute it to the end rhyme of vale, trail, tale. Creative and flowing with visual imagery. Great. Good luck in the contest!

Hi, Treischel,
You can identify the form any way you want but I am sure that hailezane refers to Zane Grey the master of the Western genre. I like it.

Shame you missed the prompt, because this is very good. Of course, I am an avid lover of all things equestrian, so I just might be a bit biased. But, I don't think so, I've read most all of the other entries in the contest. And, as I said, this one is very good. You had a great chance at winning, Mr. 'T'!

Amazing: I thought these shorter poems were often easier to write, until I actually tried to do so! Difficult to paint a picture with three lines and precise syllable count.

I can interpret several things from this lovely short work. Being a Texas rancher and raised around horses, I realize there is a "freedom" in setting sail, away from everything and everyone: Just you, the horse, and the sky.

Very nice read and wonderful effort

What a delightfully short and clever write. Most enjoyable form which is totally
new to me also. A very enjoyable read. Love the picture. I must get out and about more but the
summer heat gets to me. Smiles. Robin :)
