The Bag Lady

https://rugby843.blog

A refurbished carriage with golden lanterns, gold fringe and a polished top are pulled along stone streets by me. It’s a job like any other, daily work for daily bread, or in my case, oats and hay.

My legs are thin and bony, depicting my age, but I persevere through worn hooves and old-joint pain. My only hope is for the next customer to be light so they may enjoy a trot instead of plodding slowly.

The yoke is heavy and evidence of worn off hair and scars appear, but it is a living. If you see me waiting, a nice ripe carrot or lump of sugar would be a welcomed gift. I also willingly accept friendly pats from children. I feel a new passenger loading. My day continues.

Reflections of sun

Sparkled winter snow crystals

And a photo of my favorite time of year:

A blizzard of thoughts

Politicians blare chilled winds

Minds are still frozen

Ruffled blue

Moving to music

Only heard by passionate

Believers of the hidden mantra

Observed as blue dancers of midnight evils.

I always speak the truth

On that you can rely

Think of my reputation

I would never tell a lie

Free press be quiet please

Who’s that speaking in the back

Your question’s pure rubbish

It’s your manners that you lack

As I said I did no wrong

As he lifts his arm and fist

And by the way, I’m innocent

It says so on this list.
