A Horse and a Donkey

Along a country a dusty country road
      There is a lot to explore
I see a large house on the field
Beside the home was a vegetable field
       With a huge scarecrow at watch

To chase away all the birds
   On the other side - I saw
A fence area with a white fence
In the coral were two creatures
      A beautiful white horseI thought

Beside the horse was a donkey 
They were standing side by side
No sound came from either one
They were staring at the road
I thought it the stranges thing

Demetrios Trifiatis Date: 1/18/2017 12:51:00 PM Been brought up in a village the images your poem paints are too familiar, ma chere amie Darlene! Well written! Login to Reply Darlene De Beaulieu Date: 4/2/2017 8:06:00 AM I am hapy to give you a memory Demetrris. Thank you.

Freddie Robinson Jr. Date: 1/17/2017 11:10:00 AM A very pastoral, thought-provoking poem, Darlene. Some strange sights should make you take pause and notice. Very good poem, dear. I'm a city boy, so I love to read poem w/country or rural settings. Lovely poem you wrote. May love light your path always.

Edward Mccall Date: 1/16/2017 8:29:00 AM I love the imagery it is not unlike some of the country farms around where I live. I could picture the one on Brewster Road almost identical to what you described a great fun little poem nicely done Darlene.

Thank you Edward.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 1/13/2017 7:05:00 PM I enjoyed this pastoral picture you painted of the sight so strange to you. It's fun to write about things that just strike us as odd!
