I like the image of your horse. Sure looks like a race horse that's powerful and full of stature. The poem's style says it all; when you talk to your horse, the horse will obey.

I can and do believe this. Thank you.
Comment from estory
Loved this one; great sense of rhythm, and really nice echoing effects as well. "A noose-like slipknot/ a loose knot / that could not" Superb. and "No noose/ tightens time/ Nor free verse's rope/ The rhyme" just loved all the alliterations and echoing effects there, the tripping rhythm of the meter. On top of that, it's a really interesting image. The noose tightening on time. and the rhyme slipping out of the rope. I thought this was really musical and that's what poetry really is; the art of making music with language. A fun read. estory

Oh...GGGod. If we had met when I was younger. Lordy Lordy Lordy. Remember, all men can't think or speak when with an intelligent woman. Ha ha. I got you didn't I? Yes, your pic does delineate classic beauty. Ok? i came clean. Doug

You're definitely right about the whole intelligent woman thing (wink, wink!), but I'm guessing that - after reading your pen - thinking and else would not be a problem for you (younger or presently)? :) ;) Thanx so much for the compliment, sir - I'll take 'classic' over 'plain' any day!! :) :) :) Take good care of you out there, Doug -- sending you a warm smile to carry you through the week! :) Yvette

Beautiful metaphor, pairing the horse/seahorse with the muse of your poetry's rhyme. Your words are well chosen, and the picture you chose to pair with your poem, lovely. Love the idea of the free spirit you are trying to catch and tame.

Some things take time and can't be rushed patience is they key. Every thing has a way of working out. Some times we have to back up and get a new perspective on things.

I didn't quite get the gist of what you were trying to say in this poem. It does rhyme and entertain, but I'm kind of lost in the words if you're trying to rope in a horse or true love.

True love, natch. You got it. Thank you.
Comment from Patty Palmer
The poem is well written and a lot of thought put into it. I'm terrible at reading free verse, but I try. The picture of the horse is beautiful!! One day I hope to write free verse but it takes me a while to catch on! Hope you have a great day!

It takes me a while to put on. LOL Patty, you'll do just fine. Don't worry, don't hurry, just let the porridge escape the bowl on its freedom run. Doug

Comment from Sally Law
I have read this twenty times and decided that this is not really about a horse, but unbridled love. I may be missing this, but I guess it's open for interpretation. He directs his love like a horse, rounding a course; then righting himself just as he nears the prize. A deep one.
Sending you my best today as always,
