A Blouse of Soft Pastel

 

I watched as a colt you raised,

3000 miles from here,

Galloped across my TV screen.

 

I couldn’t help thinking….somewhere there,

Beyond the one-dimensional screen,

You were there in person, to see your “Smoky” run.

 

Maybe in the sunshine of the day,

You wore a skirt and blouse of soft pastel,

.And sunglasses, a bottle of water in one hand,

Excited as, at first, he led the field.

...perhaps a rodeo tale...became a horse...as tame as one who would wear pink...the soft remembrance...your pen gives to a story given color.
excellent Karen...

"Smoky" is a name I should know? I think so, but I don't . . . Nice wordage here, Karen . . . Good to touch base with you again . . . We seem to have gone from hor to cold in our correspondence . . . My fault I imagine . . . Hope you are good . . . Your poetry certainly is . . .
