Caren Krutsinger Poet Light Verse

Foxtrot For People Or For Horses

Foxtrot for dances or horses?
Both I suppose.
Who does it better?

Comparing them would be 
Like comparing onions to Lazy-boy-recliners,
Comparing lima beans to undertakers,

Comparing lavender to unicorns,
Comparing poetry to poetry.
It simply cannot be done.

Can I have this foxtrot, Mr. Horse?

M. L. Kiser August 27, 2019 at 4:09 PM That's going to be a back-breaking dance; at least the way I've visualized it! Cute piece. Caren Krutsinger August 28, 2019 at 7:39 AM HAHAHAHA It is very difficult to find a photograph of the foxtrot though!
