Liked your poem, great story, good rhyme and great description.
I really felt at one with that stallion.
Well worthy of its recognised status.

A beautiful poem about your horse ride. There is a certain freedom in riding that you can't quite find any where else.
Well written, well rhymed, and a lovely picture.
Well done.
Sharon

A very well-written poem describing an adventurous ride with your horse through valleys and over dales. The wind through hair and mane until you get back to the stable tired and satisfied.

Wow Trisha, how in the world did I ever miss this poem of perfection. This one deserves a ten star review. I almost hate to turn in this review since I am out if sixes. This is a long poem from you and every line and stanza blew me away. I could feel myself in the wind, on the ride with this brilliant Stallion. This poem is elegant and eloqently amazing. Marvelous. You should have entered this one in the Poet Choice 3 contest. It is anither winning poem.

I love your free wheeling work my friend. Your poem is laced with great imagery, the helter skelter, and sheer good fun worked into your work well. Written in articulate abcb rhyming quatrains, in varying meter, well done, enjoyable work, blessings, Roy

A very well written and nicely composed poem in what you describe as "alternate rhyme" . I enjoyed your poem and felt as though I was in the saddle behind you, flying over fiends and stone walls. I knew I wasn't riding solo because the last time I did so, I couldn't walk properly for six months. It was over twenty years ago and I pulled a muscle in my back! Well done. Good luck. PM

In my opinion, a charming poem, all the more so for its structure and rhyme. Although the rhyme was uneven in a couple of spots, affecting the rhythm as well, it did not detract from the entirety of the read, which I found satisfying and warm...

Lovely picture. Your poem flowed well with good rhyme and rhythm. I could sense beating hearts. Great imagery. I loved 'as the stallion thundered across the quilt' MaggieF

This is very good with some very nice imagery and word choices. A couple of small suggestions:
1. The line, "We got to the point where the arrow sent" works very well, ending the way it does. However, the next line does not read well starting with :us".
2. In "I spurred whisk ", "whisk" should be capitalized.
3. There is an unwanted space after "scurried".
Nice job. I especially liked "casting golden ripples over wheat
the poppies raised their scarlet heads".
