    On a white steed
    In the gust of the wind
    Speeding away
    On a narrow alleyway
    My beige light cloak
    Flutters behind me
    Without taking the bouts
    Wanting to cling to me.
    The blades of tall grass
    On either side
    Rise and fall like a tide
    Waving in the wind
    Touch my bare skin
    In a gentle caress
    And goad me forward to spin.
    This is a lot of thrill
    And the speed takes me further
    The hooves never stop
    Galloping on the soft land
    And leave no dust behind.
    The stretch of trail
    Looks welcoming till the end
    As far as my eyes can tend
    Arousing interest within
    To see what lies beyond.

    Vidhya,

    Very nice.

    Having a similar mentality, life will be very interesting - exploring the unknown and learning new things all through.

    Awesome poem Vidya. :thumbsup

    //The blades of tall grass

    These lines brought William Wordsworth's poem Daffodils to my mind. Very nicely written. I am nominating this poem for this month. Good luck to you and hope to read many more fine compositions from you.

    Thanks Natpudan. It is interesting isn't it to learn new things as we go. What fun is it otherwise?

    Dear Vidhya,

    One could feel the rush of breeze against the cheeks even as the eyes strained to look beyond the horizon! Speed was conveyed with poetical verse which at once captures one's imagination and makes you read between lines.

    A refreshing poem!
