HORSES by Elena Lazareva

Ksey_Gan

A chilling rain drizzles down as if through a sieve;

A patchwork of color now blankets the black fields.

The horses have grown restless—oh, to tighten the reins!

But the carriage is not mine. Alas, I cannot steal it away!

 

A carriage rushes past, with a coachman perched on the box,

Soaked through by the rain, looking just like a sparrow.

Pulled by a pampered trotter that has never known the plow,

Life races by in a wild daush—and just try to keep up…Pox!

    A wonderful metaphor set here of life as a coach and driver through the rain. Well done
