Thank you for sharing more of the Sculpture Garden and your interpretation of another sculpture in this intriguing form. I enjoyed the "Galloping" version and your rhymes. I admired your dramatic storytelling and the "tomcat" simile. More cheers- Joan

Thank you Joan. I'll gallop to a tally ho.
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written Galloping Denturn that's fitting the photograph of the statue perfectly. The dangerous route the rider picked to flee test the horse's abilities to the limit.

Comment from damommy
I like the 'galloping' rhythm of the lines. A very interesting and complicated form. I may try one some day. Truly.
If I had walked onto that statue, I think I would have had the same thoughts. Such tension building, but then a little humor with the horse's reluctance. Well done.

Thank you, I hope you do try one sometime, as dactyls and anapests are nearly a lost art, with iambic meter clearly dominating most metered poetry. I love that you saw the same. Great minds think alike.

How many times have we seen this scene played out in movie and TV scripts? You are so fortunate to have all that lovely art around to observe and enjoy. You are indeed adventurous to search out all the different forms of poetry. Well done Tom. Nancy

Comment from tfawcus
The change from dactylic to anapestic measure has quite a dramatic effect, especially when this is read aloud! I don't find it easy to sustain either metric form for long and admire the way you have done so here. I was interested in your footnote. "Route" is pronounced to rhyme with "root" in British English, perhaps to differentiate it from "rout". Root is also an offensive Australian slang verb meaning to "have sexual intercourse with''. I have only ever heard "route" pronounced to rhyme with "stout" in some parts of America.

Thank you Tony. I added that footnote to clarify, but maybe I just created confusion.
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
These artworks are certainly tantalising your muse and your pen is keen to work its magic. This one is unusual and a joy to read, never heard of a Galloping Denturn before! I learn something everyday on this site, love Dolly x

Thank you Dolly. I am glad you enjoyed the poem. It is fun to find these formats. I learn new things here too. That's the fun of it.
Comment from JaRoS
Very good use of imagery and word choice which helped move the reader along. Your theme conjured up the leap made by Butch and Sundance. I enjoyed the read.
Keep writing,

Comment from dmt1967
The picture and the poem fit very well together. I can picture archers on horseback riding up the hill with arrows at the ready. This poem paints a vivid picture. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you dmt. I am glad you liked it and saw the character in this interpretation.
Comment from pome lover
that is absolutely marvelous! a perfect explanation of the statue. the picture almost makes me laugh, looking at that horse's expressive posture. He's the one probably saying, "whoa!"
also, your explanation of the title and the meter is interesting and fascinating. I enjoyed the poem very much.

Hi TRIESCHEL,
Another wonderful descriptive poem. This was like a story in a poem. The words were perfect for the flow of metre and slipped of the togue with ease.
I like your interpretation of the statue.
