A Piggyback Poem for Thursday

"A Hurry of Hoofs;"*

  on a Mare named Knight

"Under the night sky she 

mounted a mare and rode" *

The moon shone brightly 

and though her hair was shining 

It could not compete 

with her bold steed's flaring mane 

Sparking seemed to burn 

Brighter than the hottest fire 

Dragons and other 

frothing monsters passed her by 

Belching and hissing 

holding tight they reached her not 

Nor was she afraid 

frothing wolves wild growling bears  

"A hurry of hoofs" * 

Speeding on, her Mare named Knight

* - For Sherry we are writing a "Piggyback Poem" which begins with a line from one poem and ends with a line from another. My first is from "The Horses, the Sorrow, the Umbilicus" by Maureen Hynes at Sherry's link above.  The last in part is a line from "Paul Revere's Ride" by Wadsworth  ( https://m.poets.org/poetsorg/poem/paul-reveres-ride ).
