Early Morning

Description of a morning ride in an auto.

early morning artistry

cold sun filtering through

wet fog

barking dog

no other sound

save the wheels going round

slushing the road

fishtailing a bit

slow down

the asphalt running

black between fields

of green

held back with rough hewn fences

suddenly with no warning

two horses galloping

on the other side

challenging my ride

and as I turn to see

they leave me behind

like spirited playmates laughing

Kind of makes you think whether the breakthrough into technology means we're leaving behind the better parts of the natural beauty of our world. Hopefully we can continue to find a way where they coexist rather than challenging each other's ride as you put it :)

Barbara,

Wow... Seems to be a contrast within nature and machine. Quite beautiful expression. I can vividly see the blacktop and a field of grass, the horse and the car...


I really enjoyed the pictures you placed here... thank you oh, and welcome to our Group!

Have a wonderful day,

Legacy
