glenatron: (Emo Zorro)
[personal profile] glenatron
It seems that today we were gifted with a bright sunny day, uncharacteristically warm for the time of year.

Zorro and I took the opportunity for a ride. We began a bit questionably because we had to pass the pigs of doom on the way down the valley, then we were passed by a flock of motocross bikes on the other side, then we went down a closed road ( hence new signs, cones, big plastic barriers ) and then having gone along a busy stretch of road, the trail off onto the common was quite eroded and Zorro slipped nervewrackingly as we descended it, just catching himself before my leg found the bank at the side of the trail. Still, having got out onto the common, it was a simply gorgeous day.


Haiku Hack
A fork in the trail
Bright bracken pinewoods
White sand under quiet round hooves
A decision ahead.

Riding up towards Kettlebury
Birch seeds in sunlight,
A rain of bright stars falling
in October woods.

Where Hankley Common burned 2: Manesplosion
For two August days
Dry heath burned and smouldered, now
What is with that mane?

Where Hankley Common burned
Black hillside vista
A lone black horse walks through the
Memory of fire.

Pine trail
The heath divided
By scots pine covered ridge
And broad sandy trail

Hankley Common
An open valley
Beneath the wings of the sky
Mapped with paths home.
