| Posted by Gabriel Ricard on 10/21/06 at 03:23 AM Really like the picture.
It rolls with the poem pretty damn well. |

| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 10/21/06 at 02:24 PM Wonderful images, even without the photo. Man with the added power of the steed always sends me. :) The idea of the maze and finding ones way - classic, yet exciting through your unique words. Thank you. |

| Posted by Sandy M. Humphrey on 10/23/06 at 06:31 PM I found this very vivid in imagery and had my own picture in my head. I just recently had an encounter with a wonderful horse in the desert and indeed a steed is a poetic breed...nice write. smh |
| Posted by David R Spellman on 10/23/06 at 11:14 PM Great imagery and loved the lines "a maze of streets without names snaking beneath us as if playthings for some mischievous god." Reminds of child-play with train sets, or cars or any number of set-ups in which we overlooked the world we built and pretended to be giants looking down upon it, wondering what havoc we might have at its expense. And the port you've chosen "among the sea of poems" - just wonderful stuff!

| Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 10/24/06 at 12:46 AM Quite an analogy! Poetically you don't seem to stay in the doldrums long! |
| Posted by Glenn Currier on 11/30/09 at 02:21 AM Ah, the sweet triumph of the creative spirit over the doldrums! How blessed we are that you have ridden that steed into our eyes, ears, and hearts, my friend. My wish for you is many more fantastic rides. I look forward to them. Thank you, Chris. |
