I Love this Poem...Its So True I wish I could Write like you!! Yeah well read mine kay!

Great poem, love the mood it sets. Love the language "Indigo Moon weaves sweet flowers through his silky mane" 5/5 you do have a typo though, line ten "galloping"

I expected nothing less from you Gary. Great job. This piece really shows the power of freedom when your fears are gone.

This poem is filled with beautiful images and brought a smile to my face. Amazing!

When the dark lion sleeps, he is getting too much rest.....meanwhile, we make hay while the Sun shines...for when he roars up out of his lair, rested and Hungry......we had better be Strong....and Unified.....

Good write. beautiful word usage.

Wow. Deep.

Well, I loved it. I have to start with that. I read all the messages as well..and I just wanted to say, that we all have that poem we are not particularily fond of, that others love, and we cannot fathom why. We loved them briefly, then under inspection, they just didn't hold up to our own personal standards. But, you have given us exactly what we want, that sigh of relief, that fleeting escape into another world. Thru graceful, vibrant imagery, you painted a fairytale with words. If if had't won, I never would have had the pleasure of being able to read your other work, as I intend to do. You have an amazing talent to weave words into emotions and images. Simply beautiful!
