The Horse Fair
Form: Abbreviated Haiku II
Theme: Art
Subject: The Horse Fair by Rosa Bonheur

Hooves gallop
With flaring manes
Sinews flex
Equine might
Through kicked-up dust
Shouts power
Heckled bids
A voice calls ‘sold’
Gavel down

I am a freelance writer and poet and started writing after raising my two boys as a way of discovering just who Jez is. That is still very much an ongoing project but the journey so far has introduced me to many wonderful friends and fellow writers through an ever-growing love of poetry.
