The Magestic Horse

Graceful are these creatures
captive in a stall
There brother runs so freely
capturing the hearts of us all

There tails are of sleek threads
shinning in the sun
Their hooves are dark as ebony
fading as they run

The horse a gifted animal
tamed or free to go
They fly through open feilds
up mountains then down low

-Erin Shaw

will jump out of them,
will do anything else,
provided one grants him praise
and respite after his accomplishment

The Stallion

A gigantic beauty of a stallion,
fresh and responsive to my caresses,
Head high in the forehead
and wide between the ears,
Limbs glossy and supple,
tail dusting the ground,
Eyes well apart and full of sparkling wickedness
...ears finely cut and flexible moving.

-Walt Whitman

their love is deeper than the sea,
their bravery is greater than a storm,
the bond between them is beyond comparisen.

The New Born Colt

It dances-
The muscles slipping freely
Beneath the fine skin,
The small joints miracles of prefection.
In confident awareness,
In the pride of being alive,
It lifts with grace the pointed white hooves.
Between the foal and it's mother is great love.
It moves with her almost as one,
Yet in no way bound,
While every upright shinning hair
On it's short ruffle of mane,
Dances with joy.

-Mary Kennedy


Wild Horses

But every night now
for a month
I have run away
to the blue lake
where the wild horses
come to drink...

...In the moonlight
the white coats are blue
and the bays are shawdows.
I stand perfectly still.
My legs grow long and powerful.
I will run with the horses.

-Mary Crow

perseveres with his heart,
And wins with his character.

the rains cleansing, and the

only look to the horse.
