I wrote this quadrille for DVerse this morning, inspired by the threat of a new stay-at-home order from California’s governor. Hopefully, it won’t happen, but governors like this one love their power, so… we’ll see. I am also sharing this, two days late, with the Writers’ Pantry.
You might think I’m a prancing pony,
Yet there are war-horses, chariots inside.
I have generally a docile spirit,
Yet can be a general, military guide.
There are overreaches I cannot abide:
No one gets out of Earth alive,
So I’ll go down fighting.
I hear you pawing the ground in this poem! [I too cannot abide the overreaches]

I love the idea of war horses inside of you waiting to run!

Love the warhorse in this! 🙂
We’re right next door in Nevada, so I understand completely.

Yes, a lot of attitude has been coming out lately. It’s almost funny.

A great expression of defiance and most accomplished quadrille. (I don’t know the specific circumstances there, but stay-at-home periods have worked very well in Australia.)
Your link on Mr Linky for Writers’ Pantry wasn’t working, so I hunted up this post on your blog and have corrected the link.

Yes, they do work very well. My family is mostly in CA and it’s inconvenient, sure, but it works. My daughter has surgery there next week, and really can’t be dealing with those I learned are called covidiots! It’s temporary and for the public good. No bigger in my book.

I think a big part of it is that information works better than orders.
