The second of my collections of poems written for "Express It In Eight."

As usual these days, I choose blog format because it offers more space for the work.

“Giddy up!” cries the coachman,
strident in the morn,
forward leans the dray horse,
lurching in the dawn.

Creaking and groaning its stays,
rumbling of the wheels,
a flash of history arisen,
the quality we feel.



Line count: 8
