I can get into this, Suse.
My man parts have troubling with riding
horses, but I'm sure it is something I could adjust to.
I liked your internal rhyme with spurs and herds.
clouds and shrouded.
I know it is not grammatically correct,
but 'my horse and me' sounds more
in keeping with your tone.
Just a thought.
I'm having some trouble accessing 'Home' on FS today.
Just me?
Peace, Lee

Hi Lee! I like 'me' much better. Thanks for the help! Rhymes with 'we'! Duh.
I always have trouble with things...I haven't been able to use a prose chest for over a year? ALL my stories have to have the poetry chest. I have asked them about it umpteen times...I give up. I think there is a problem with the site, tho Tom doesn't agree. Just too many virus's out there.
And my son says the same about riding. But it's all in the rhythm, sort of like, well...you know...:o) SO glad you liked it Lee! Suse
-
Yeah, I know plenty of men can ride horses, but I always have trouble with my marbles. I'm sure it is all about staying the saddle.
But that's what my first wife said, and that didn't work out so well...
Hope you're feeling better. Peace, Lee
-
Oh Lee!! Now, I am laughing...so sorry! Can't help it. Bless your heart...I am better today! Thankfully...it was awful the other night. Thanks Lee...you too!! Suse

The artwork that you picked is perfect for your poem.
I love how you express when you travel with your horse
With the trust you have between each other you becomes one.

Oops toucvhed the wrong thing again. It's been awhile. Well at least I'm keeping you on your toes.(smile)
I changed it.

Yes, you did Cookie! I read that thing several times, trying to see what you meant! SO, that is a good thing. Thank you again, it's always wonderful if you like my stuff, regardless. hug, Susan

Glad it's all corrected now!

Comment from Eldercrone
I have nothing but praise for this lovely, lyrical poem. In fact, I wish had written it! Chuckle. What higher praise can I offer. Another chuckle.I particularly love "amethyst dawn" and "galloping-shrouded." On a persona level l I would wish the rider weren't wearing spurs, but that doesn't effect the poem's quality. It certainly evoked my memories of horses long gone. Thank you for that!

Hi there! You are welcome!! And I am very honored with your kind enthusiasm! Never fear the spur use. When used properly it's just a nudge, a reminder to do right. I use the ones so dull they are almost useless....just to get old lazy to walk a bit faster once in a while. LOL! I hope you used to ride...it's a joy and my life...for now. Thanks so much!! Hug! Susan

So wonderful this nonet. A nice description of how it feels to be one with nature and to be one with your horse.
Right syllable count and smooth flow. I loved it. Fia

Hi Michael! Thanks! If you guys were close, I would share my horses...they need to be ridden more. lol! Soon, I'll be unable to ride...maybe sooner than I think. Maybe in another life, I'll get a chance to live the life I want...ha! :/ Thank you my friend! Hug, Susan
Comment from Patti R.
A really terrific nonet! Perfect form. The attached photo is lovely and helps set the dusty, colorful mood.
I happen to be married to a real cowboy! In reality, there isn't a lot of 'pleasure riding', it's usually about moving a grumpy herd, or pushing bulls through pasture, that kind of thing. And you are right about the spurs!

OH Patti~ JOY Joy!! Wow...where do you live??? I'm in Indiana...we here are just wannabe's! LOL! I am older now and rarely get out of first gear, but love horses so. And the spirit of the west, the work, the honest way. Tell you hubby he is a rare breed. Be safe! And think of me? I wish I were there. Mud, blood and work--all. Susan

Hi Susan.
I'll tell him my Indiana pen pal says a hearty hello! We are just beginning the season of calving. All the cows are due to have their calves over the next few months. Then the month of May around here is 'branding' season. All the ranchers help each other brand the calves...quite old west! We're in Alberta, Canada. I realize this sounds self-serving, but you might enjoy my short stories called Country Ways. There are 2 or 3, I think. Please don't feel obligated to rate or review, I just think you may enjoy them! We ranch on land originally inhabited by the Blackfeet Indians. All the buffalo are gone, replaced by white man's white horns (cattle) just over a century ago. This area is rich in history. Have a lovely evening. Patti

Hey! I will! Thank you so much for this tiny vacation into your world. You're up where it's really cold. So far, mild here for this time of year. But still too cold for me. Thanks again Patti. HUG, Susan

I like this, Susan and envy
you being able to ride a horse..
something I'd love to do but
because of spinal problems and
a spinal op, I can't risk it.
Lovely little poem. Good luck with the contest, my friend.

Hi Margaret! How I wish you could come and ride with me. What fun it would be...just having you here to talk to!! Riding is wonderful, well....until some youknowwhat! Comes along and revs a motor at you, or throws a firecracker out. OR a bomb goes off nearby. Poor horses are so easily terrorized...and people KNOW it too. They do. I understand about your back. I have bone spurs that will have to be removed someday...and who knows. Most are in my neck. DANGEROUS. They say. Thank you for enjoying this so my friend...please be well....love! Susan

There a lot of horse-riding around these parts and we meet riders all the time when out in the car... but respect each other... we slow down and go slowly and carefully past the horse so as not to alarm it, and the rider always lifts their arm to wave a thanks. ... how it should be. Closing down now, it's almost 8pm and we are going to watch a film. take care and God bless, my friend. Margaret
