i asked God for a bike, but i know God doesn't work that way. so i stole a bike and asked for forgiveness

here's a poem i wrote a few years ago based off of the poem "A Blessing"


I drove beside the pasture
On a road paved in black
White lines were painted on it

In the car I sat
Watching as the horses ran
As elegant as swans

The road continued on and on
In between fields of green
Which seemed to be closing in

On me while I drove
The horses galloped closer
Just inches away now

I reached out a hand to feel
Their velvety skin
And continued on my way



after recently reading it i realised i really don't like the line structure...
so i played around with it for a while and came up with this:


I drove beside the pasture
On a road paved in black

White lines were painted on it
In the car I sat

Watching the horses run
As elegant as swans
The road continued on
In between fields of green
Which seemed to be closing 

In on me while I drove

The horses galloped closer
Just inches away now

I reached out a hand to feel
Their velvety skin

And continued on my way



i'm curious as to which you guys like more.

  1. This is an awesome title. Haha

    The second one was definitely easier to read. It actually took me less time to read it.

    But I enjoyed both.
