I like that. A slightly different approach , more towards a contemporary manner of verse.
Well done Marty. You are not thinking of joining the Amish are you :lol:

I'm with Neville - I like the structure of this as well as the content, I think the somewhat clipped lines work well with the concept of the contest and the horse clip clopping along. Captures a slower paced time in life - interesting that you have time to observe the eagle possible something that would have gone unnoticed in a car journey, because unlike a car you don't have to concentrate as much on the steering :lol: :lol: and thus have more time to observe and appreciate your surroundings

I enjoyed the read Marty - thank you

Cheers

Maureen

The Amish wouldn't have him Neville - he's too flamboyant!

Nice one Marty.

Heather :)

Read the title and thought it might have been 50 Shades Of Marty. :shock:
