This was quite a write. After first read I thought well it certainly could have gone in the sadness category, then on second, I could understand the need to put in misc.

This was very unique for several reasons in my opinion.

First, the repetitious use of the same onomatopoeiac(?) phrase only enhances the emotions of the horse.

Second, it could easily translate into our lives and the supression that we deal with in a multitude of ways.

It could portray politics, love, or friendship. This poem caught my eye and while I am not critic, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Awesome Job.

A beautiful write, with many meanings. 5/5

Thought provoking and creative. I love the internal rhyme and the fact that the rhyming isn't forced. Nice job!

I'm glad that this poem won the weekly contest as that's how I came across this unique write that immediately places the reader not only into the horse's plight but also immerses the reader in contemplative thought about the obvious parallel with people in the horse's role.
Talented write, I'll have to read more of your poems.

Very creative and glad that I stopped to read it. At first glance I was put off by the repeating words and lines but putting that aside it is creative and does force the reader to think. For that alone it deserved the win. Well done.

Good job. I agree with what a lot of the other commenters have said, including the parallel to the reader's own situation. I enjoyed the dynamic rhyme scheme, changing from stanza to stanza and flowing without a hitch. Not "clop clop," but "click clack"--such a harsh sound, helping to communicate the unpleasantry of the situation. Great write.

I can be the horse in this poem actually..am so happy that I can see this poem in so many different.related ways and diff angels..!!

but let me tell u ..this rhyme scheme is one of the most perfect ive ever read...u even had words rhyming in the same line ! how poetic that is..

ur realy one of the most unique poets..and this poem just proves my previous comment to be right,..which is how much u put in ur poems

i bet u write by heart and mind..not by had.

and this
With his pride tucked by fear and his reprimand severe
With his herd nigh forgotten and his bitterness long rotten
.........................left me out of words

5/5!
