ysabetwordsmithThis poem came out of the January 7, 2025 Poetry Fishbowl. It was inspired by a prompt from helgatwb. It also fills the "Plunging Hoofs" square in my 1-1-25 card for the Public Domain Day Bingo fest. This poem has been sponsored by a pool with fuzzyred.
"To the Beat of Plunging Hooves"
-- an indriso
History is often late
To record what's done or said
By the needful, not the great.
Soleated, harnessed, led
Horses drive the wheels of fate
From behind or by the head.
History, like mountains, moves
To the beat of plunging hooves.
