Flying High

A comical reflection on meeting a black cow on a horseback ride

Flying high the ground rushes in
Today I'm on the mend

Big black cow
Teaches me now

Not all mounts are acquainted
My ride was tainted

As flying high
I dismounted

With a
THUD

Are you the crow or the sparrow taking flight here I wonder, nicely penned and I especially enjoyed the thud.

My Dear Writing Friend,
I liked this write, it is a thought provoking word tapestry that begged me to laugh before my fire, and that I did. I hope you mend soon!

Blessings, Laughing-Bear

Thank you Laughing-Bear. Mostly just bruises, but yanked my tailbone good when I hit the ground. That's taking a little longer. Have to laugh myself. That cow how the most amused expression on her face.

I'm wondering if your horse threw you or if you jumped out of fright. The horse? Well, I guess it must've thought black Bossy was a black Bruno.

LOL Neither. When she saw that black bessy she took off. I've not ridden faster then a trot in years and never in a saddle. When she took off I lost my balance and grabbed her neck to hold on, then she swerved to miss a fence. I was already holding on for dear life on the side she swerved away from and down I went lol
