Horse Acrostic

HORSE Hell-bent stallion muscles led the mustangs through the plain, On their heels rode hard a hired man –his job to rope the best-- Rearing high the stallion—urging speed as autumn winds dance thru his mane. Sheets of lighting limned silhouettes as they pounded toward the west-- Enchanted now the man reined in—this day let beauty rule his breast.
