Tanka Poem

I gallop flat out,
Across the grass covered field.
The wind whips my face,
Dirt flings up beneath my hooves,
As they pound against the ground.

  1. Well done Olive this poem races along like a horse running free.
    Did reading Black Beauty help with the vision and language for this?
    I love how you’ve used the verbs whips, flings and pound to give your poem pace and vibrancy - I could really picture your horse running.
    I’m very impressed that you got all 31 syllables - was it hard to fit your words into the in 5 / 7 formula in each line?
