Remembering Spotted Ponies

Wind down the hill
Water down my back.
Steam rising like mist through the pine.

I've been something
For somebody
For so long.

I almost forgot
Spotted ponies.

Almost forgot.

I want to ride spotted ponies
In forgotten fields
And remember.

Wind down the hill
Water down my back.
Steam rising like mist through the pine.

1. Beautiful!

2. That's wonderful, my dear pinto...

I don't know if you write much, or often, but let me encourage you.

You have a gift.

Thank you for sharing this with us...

[pinto]

3. This one's for you -

In all things conversational,
Peggy's been exceptional.

No ruse, no ire
Nor conversational fire.

Her participation here
Is appreciated by I.

4. Why, thank you, my dear pinto!

That is quite charming!
