Brilliant. I saw the title "The Blue Horse" and thought of the colt I helped birth when I was ten. Whoa! Deja vu. I love the "second birth," and the horse is a "kind of god." Spot on. And "The Jeweled Net of Indra" is everything. I could read it/have it read to me a thousand more times and would not tire of it. Different poems, yes, but both convey a coherent sense of the poet, and he feels like a soulmate. I love these poems and appreciate your thoughtful commentary. Thank you, Ken.
These are both worthy poems. Wonderful to read and such interesting stories behind their creation.
Thanks. I really appreciate reading your thoughts!
Outstanding.

“The Blue Horse”: such visceral imagery! And I love the story of how “Indra’s Net” came into being.
