Artemis's playmate
She lives to shed her bindings
and run with the wild horses,
catch dandelion seeds
in her thick mane
Her love is fierce, feral
Do not try to tame her, for
she will fade away
like the brightest star
in the morning light.

Love the image and love your response to it! I'm so tempted to write something, but need to keep focused! But well done my girl!
Stunning imagery... this daughter of the wild. Wonderful write.
Ah, once upon a time . . . . .
Whatever happened to the wild child days?
Wonderful. So many images of youth and strength and freedom.
