Two-Mile Loop at the Horse Park
We walk run cycle tricycle in the same direction,
following the counter-clockwise loop
A little girl on a bicycle circles back to her family
A toddler screams to be let out of his stroller
A couple talks as if they’re the center of the universe
He wants to lose weight and she loves lattes
Dogs track paw prints from the wading pool
Two wait for outdoor yoga to end
I brush away a tic attached to my arm
A red-winged blackbird hides in a bush
Horses swish and twitch at flies
The shaggiest grazes without looking up

A great snapshot of sights and sounds! I feel like I’m there with you!
Great discriptions paralleling natural world vs human. I am about to take my two boys to the legacy trail, who knows… Maybe we will be the content of another’s poem!
what? no one on a smart phone
saying stupid personal things
to passersby?
your couplets are great examples
of being aware of the-all-around
all-the-time
it’s always interesting to me what one can see and hear during an outing such as this… wonderful job… have a great day~
You capture this day with words that send out images, even tic to tock or tick buried in skin.
Great descriptions.!
Good descriptions! I was on that walk with you!
