Riding Pegasus

Lorna

You taught me to fly

To ride the back of a horse

To leap the earthbound fences

As we threw our hearts ahead

And jumped them

The horses and I flew

And like a dance in the sky

Under your care

We lived in the air

    I agree with Terthas - this a beautiful poem Lorna.

    • Lorna

      Thanks Michael - do me a favor? Give me a subject to write about? Pick anything.......

      • Michael Edwards

        I was just driving back from town a few minutes ago and saw beautiful shadows reaching out across the road and some great lines came to me which I've now forgotten - why not have a go at shadows.

        • Lorna

          Oh thanks - just a point in some direction.......... will try later!

        • orchidee

          A fine write - written while riding a horse?! lol.

          • Lorna

            No such luck Orchee!

              Oh Lorna what a wonderful experience to fly on a horse - your husband 's great way with riding and riders has peppered this poem with beautiful reality - thanks so much for the share.

                Thanks Fay - I was blessed with a wonderful life (though not always easy) - so if it's sort of "over" I can't be greedy............ You would have loved the feeling of riding a good horse over a huge fence.........

                Like riding a bike. If you fall off, you just get back on and keep riding. Great poem Lorna.

                • Lorna

                  Yup! No mercy!

                  Flying on a horse must be wonderful. My daughter in law is a 'horse person' so I can thoroughly understand your own feelings.
