"Write an active poem."


Look at that horse go!  A champion.
Dad got a tip at Aqueduct. 
He leaned forward in his seat
to cheer on his winner.
Go, Go, Go, he yelled.
The horse was deaf,
slow-footed
and last
place.

About purplepeninportland

I am a freelance poet, born and bred in Brooklyn, New York. I live with my husband, John, and two charming rescue dogs–Marion Miller and Murphy. We spent eight lovely years in Portland, OR, but are now back in New York. My goal is to create and share poetry with others who write, or simply enjoy reading poetry. I hope to touch a nerve in you, and feel your sparks as well.
