| Posted by Jim Benz on 01/30/06 at 05:09 AM this would be very good even without the galloping horse, but the animation actually enhances the rhythm and the metaphor. excellent! |
| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 01/30/06 at 01:02 PM Galloping oak trees? Well there goes the neighborhood. LOL. Seriously though, short and punchy, thought provoking piece. I like how it shows you...all of us as an intricate part of nature. |

| Posted by Maureen Glaude on 02/01/06 at 08:32 PM How original an idea. I love to write of the trees, never thought of them moving along. Perhaps you were on horseback or in a car?
I love your images you find too.

| Posted by Kathleen Wilson on 02/05/06 at 12:40 AM Well, I had the feeling that there was a secret in here... pehaps the secret of language of oaks??? "Cant is an example of a cryptolect, a characteristic or secret language used only by members of a group, often used to conceal the meaning from those outside the group." Perhaps the oaks (speaking in cantering triple beat rhythms..(like the three lines of each stanza) speak to you in that language... you their message..in the whispering leaves...and distract
us ...with an cantering sense of humor... |

What message is it cantering,
resolute, from it to me?
... am I the only one who longs to set the horse free? This is a favourite. Beautiful. |
| Posted by Christel Crews on 04/09/06 at 07:30 PM what vivid imagery you use and yet you leave the reader pondering and quizzative... this is a beautiful piece! i love being inspired by Nature... there is a peace there that holds no parallel anywhere else |
| Posted by Joan Serratelli on 03/04/09 at 05:16 PM Your creativity astounds me! Your words are enhanced by the annimation (Who, but you, would think of doing that?) Great write! |
| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 09/25/09 at 11:07 AM I don't know what you fed that wonder horse
but it must have been something special, like
your poetry,
cause it has been running since 2006.
I hope it never stops,
like this poem will never stop
running furlongs in the tracks of my being.
