Susan this is a lovely love poem. Now, I could be ridiculously off-base here, but I think you are talking to your horse. If I am right, you take all the credit. If I am wrong, I'll eat a saddle. Gentle nudge. Nice work. Peace, Lee

I think it would be fun to see you attempt to eat a saddle, but it is to the horse! I put the tiny note at the top of the title? But someone else said it could go to a person too, so we are both right? I really am super glad you liked it Lee. Looking forward to your next post too! ") Susan

I read your poem out loud and did not have much trouble with it. Try it and seen if you can spot the places to smooth out. As is, it is very well written. Good luck in your contest.

Susan,
I enjoyed your poem.
And I think it is a fine free verse poem.
Flows well.
You capture your love for your horse really well.
Great image and visual presentation.
Good title.
I like your 4th and 5th stanzas the best.
Good luck in the contest.

Susan,
You're welcome. So I've heard, though I find it easier than structured verse.

Comment from BethShelby
This is a beautiful love poem. It it about a person or a horse? I like the way you use the Western metaphors to describe the connection. The picture carries out the Western theme and makes me think we are talking about a horse. I think you free verse is done just right. There aren't many rules about free verse. To me they need to express feelings and this one does.

Comment from LoveLifeKnight
the reason why i love free verse is that as far as i know its free. no one can actually tell you whats right or wrong! to me this is perfect free verse, because it gets all the emotions across. i can imagine what you might see, and feel a little of what you feel.

Hi there! I guess you are right? I just didn't know if this was smooth enough or? Thanks, I am glad you like it! ") Susan
Comment from psalmist
I loved the descriptions and emotion of this piece. The words were perfect. However, I felt it was too broken up, making the flow awkward. i.e.: I would attach "This small joy" to either the first two lines, or the next two lines.
I see a mountain range
when I gaze
into the window of your soul.
You know who I am
by my love
for you
that will never die.
You are mine, and I am yours,
bound by kindred spirits
that soar
until the end of time...
An otherwise beautiful poem.

Comment from Valkarie
I think this free verse is done excellently, it has a good flow is concise and your words flow with such a dialogue that is concise and most visual. Your dialogue is well executed and has such impeccable word flow making this poem a most artistic expressed piece which is emotional and well written.
A very well written piece which is most creative.

Comment from cacfilly
As someone who has owned horses in my lifetime, I just loved this. I could so remember having that same feelings, although I never rode where you have written. What a great poem. I'm pretty sure it's terrific free verse, but I don't know much about it as I write rhyming. Kudos for a great job.

Realist101,
This poem could easily be written to a person. But then, we as horse people know that our best friend possesses human qualities. Love it.

Comment from Sharon Lee
I like it, some of the spacing isn't needed though. It all depends on how you want to to flow I guess. A sweet read though, very warm and beautiful.
