Having read the Poet Note, I returned to read the poem again and I was free to join you on that tumultuous wild ride through the stormy seas on that most gallant ship and yes! I could see the Captain lean forward and stroke the sleek ship's fiery sides! Excellent and stirring write, Captain my Captain! ! ! 10+++++++++++++++++++ and onto my fav list [well, of course, since you appealed strongly to my horse-loving heart and soul! ! ! ! ! ]
Oh thank goodness I read your Poet Note! ! ! ! ! ! I was sitting here wondering how I could gently, respectfully, with not one giggle inform you that a stallion is not a she but a he! ! ! ! You saved me from embarrassing myself. Thank you! ! !
A fantastic expression has been made on horse, pirates, sea, ship. Beautiful poem shared amazingly.
Weigh anchor, hoist the sails, fly your Jolly Roger flag! Ship and horse mixed in a beautiful poem dream!
I read this gem again and I am totally embarrassed and ashamed of myself for needing to read the Note. It is so clearly a magnificent metaphor that I am now going to go stand myself in the corner and rest my aching eyes and really dumb head. This poem is so wild and unrestrained and pillages every sense a reader has- sight, sound, touch, taste... gorgeous! ! !
