She bites the chilling November wind,
Lunges at the opportune moment,in stark solitude.
Freedom!  But for what?
To roam endlessly alone, without a companion?
Without one to share days and nights
could be worse than being corralled
alongside those who may not whinny the same tune.
She bites the wind, turns tail into it,
returns to the safety of the enclosed pasture.
Perhaps tomorrow, a different outcome,
though an unlikely scenario for a social creature.

Many a woman has been like that mare at one time or another!

Well done, Kacy!

Well written piece, Kacy.
Sad and melancholy and engrossing.

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
