Hamish the Horse

Swish tailed Hamish, gloss black Stallion
Proud prize show hero bore blue medallion
Champion head turner tenacious steed

Lonely hoof stomper longed for a companion
Incidence of coinciding reserved to imagine
Narrow minded owners oblivious to his need

High knee haughty mare trotted by his enclosure
Temptation's waft overcame limited exposure
Hamish neighed a friend request,  - she agreed

Lake rippled muscle, alpha outraged neck tossed
Winner's whinny recognised chance may be lost
Breaking barriers now became a necessary deed

Chest of windswept lake assisted stable escape
Charging through victoriously, gate swung agape
Asked lady to dance, she daringly took the lead

Dust distubed finesse surpassed usual manuevres
Hamish whispered happily, " Forever, the two of us." 
Most cherished equine paradise known while freed

... Ta, Caren.... One day, I'll figure out how to write a somber tail rhyme.
