I thought the poem was very well written. I write poetry quite frequently in my spare time, I do not have much because of school but I thoroughly enjoy reading others work! It helps me improve me material also. Thanks!

Riding Wistful Horses |
| by Alastair Adamson |
|
Sitting here and thinking how My life much richer is now For all the ones I've chanced upon And the tapestry that was spun There was a time when no one came No friends to play in childhood game No one to shelter from the rain Nor the adolescent pain Yet in my inner heart I knew Secrets rare and secrets true Were wishes horses, all would ride Other dreamers by my side Then one day I dropped my guard I never did something so hard In my heart I let others in And found I had a friend By one's and two's they gathered near Soothing all my darkest fears A tapestry we began to weave And I once more believe For youth need never fade away As long as I can dream and play On wistful horses I will ride With other dreamers at my side |

A close friend had to put down her 23 yr old mare today and I was looking for something that would express a sense of the eternal. Lovely poem. Thanks

Beautifully written with an intricate weaving of figurative language and a lovely use of adjectives.
Amanda
This was a very pleasing poem. I love how the title seems to say that the poem is going to be strictly about horses, but the poem turns out to be more than that and using it more in an "abstract" or different form, I guess. The "riding of the horses" was just a detail, but it gave the poem a lot of meaning. It was just a very sweet, great poem.
