Hi Manfred,
Great poem to read, the sort of poetry I've always enjoyed.

Thank you for your kind words. This was written a few years ago and still feels a bit 'stiff'. However it seems to work as a lyric and picked up a gong as well. It's getting a run (as a song) later this year ...
(I think It's C min7th or B# Nev ... :).

Yes Matt, there's been some great reading on here of late. Glad you enjoyed it ... :)

Great poem Manfred, the old poly saddles were a good old heavy piece of gear , if you carried it half a mile to your horse.
they were a comfortable seat to work in all day. I first stepped into an old Cox Poly saddle as a teenager, on young horses that were freshly broken in. rode fifteen mile one way and fifteen mile back the next day. i understand the meaning of your poem as a horseman.
