This was very descriptive and interesting tale of a relationship between rider and horse. I felt the bond and the sadness at the end was heartbreaking. Thank you so much for sharing.

Hello Yvonne.
I like the tempo and your rhyme scheme in this poem as I was reading along, I could hear the clippity clop of the horses hooves on a rocky surface. The story is great and the rhythm of the poem helps to tell the story.
This is a dandy and I enjoyed it a lot.

Comment from judiverse
This is so sad. The cowboys depended so much on their horses, and they were faithful to the end. In your poem the horse pushes on at the cowboy's urging until they reach water. It would certainly be terrible to be in the desert, hoping to find water. Excellent rhyme and flow. That is a great picture to inspire a poem, and you did great with it. judi

Thank you so much. I wish I hadn't made it sad at the end.

You're very welcome. That was the cowboy life, though. They lost their horses. judi
Comment from Janice Canerdy
This is a very skillfully and creatively written poem, vividly descriptive, and so appealing and moving in its message. The "watering hole" is a well-chosen symbol and helps lead to the old friend's (horse's) end.

Comment from aryr
What a wonderful picture and a great title, damommy. Your words just seemed to flow so well together. There was a tease that you presented with just around the next bend or over the next hill to water. And a sense of sadness in the last stanza with the last two lines. It was also a wonderful name for the horse. Very well done, and greatly enjoyed.

I enjoyed your poem for the contest prompt. Very nicely rhymed. I'm not sure how that cowboy's gonna get home without a horse since this one's time has come. I hope he gor some water before he expired. LOL.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
Beautiful!! I was almost singing it to that old country and western song, Cool Clear Water. This could easily be turned into a song, Yvonne. Loved the lyrics to the one. It had a sad ending too, which so many of these songs do. I must sort my sixes out, they seem to be gone before I know I've had them! But I want you to know this is definitely six star worthy! Well done, my dearest sister! Love and hugs. Sandra xxxx

To view a gorgeous sunlit plain, rising or setting is a gift horse or not. I love this old west theme and creative take away from the art. Splendid offering. Sending you my best today as always,

Comment from Mary Shifman
I enjoyed your poem. It reminds me a bit of the Marty Robbin's hit, 'Cool Water.' It is quite different though. I think yours would make a good ballad. You've got great imagery and meter. The picture is perfect for it, too. Well done.

You are so welcome. Nice job.

Do you know if the Travel Contest poem has closed? I can't locate it and I don't know where to look to find out.
-
I haven't been able to find it. Ordinarily, you can go to the contest tab at the top of the page, but I didn't see that contest anywhere. Go to the contact us tab and ask Tom about it. That tab is under "Community."
-
Okay. Thank you.
