Charles Henderson Poet Rhyme

Horses and Snowflakes

Horses and snowflakes,
open fire and hoe cakes,
oh how they bring such joy 
to my heart.
Riding my black 
through fields of white,
taking me back
to a place of respite
youth can impart.

Rings and promises,
“I do’s” and adjectives,
lead to life filled with joy
to my heart.
Children and in-laws
come with the moment,
effect and cause
so volatile, potent
from the start.

Horses and snowflakes,
fields and quiet lakes,
musing on life filled with joy
to my heart.
Love in abundance,
strong everlasting,
nothing happenstance,
no way contrasting
a work of art.

Carolyn Devonshire October 18, 2010 at 10:22 AM Excellent use of images, especially the contrast of the black horse bounding over fields of white snow. I really like the cadence in your poem as well. Gives it a unique, fast-paced quality -- kind of like a horse running. Well done, Charles! Best wishes in Constance's contest. Love, Carolyn
