I Love My Pony

I love my pony
My pony loves me
I ride him on Sunday
from my house to the sea

He comes when I call him
nuzzles up to me so sweet
So I give him a sugar cube
~ a pony's favorite treat



   Not for Eve's Contest
but definitely inspired by her contest
      ~ Thanks, Eve!

So happy you decided to go with Pretty Neat Gershon. I hope she likes it as much as we did. Kids love something they can remember and your poem is short and memorable. This poem is sweet too, but I love the clever wit in your entry. Best of luck in the contest. Hugs xxoo

Dear Gershon, your poem is adorable with charming imagery riding a rhythmic pony trot. Simply lovely! Warmest wishes, my inspiring friend.. ~Susan

Thank you, Susan. Please know that 'your inspiring friend' is perspiring after a mere pony trot. ~ Not ready for National Velvet

Thanks, Tom. I kind of agree with you, but many others have told me that another of my writes was better-suited for the contest, so I entered it instead. We'll see what happens. In any event, thank you for your the continued boost your support gives me. With appreciation, Gershon

Thjis makes me remember my horse, Genesis. I miss him so much and he will always be in my heart. I would call him and say Hey Baby and clap my hands over my head and he would whinny and run to meet me. Sometimes he would just wait for me by the gate. Great little rhyme my friend. God Bless, JB

Thanks for sharing your love for your horse, Judy. Such love sure is something special. I'm sorry to hear that Genesis has made his Exodus. (Couldn't resist that one, could I?). Peace, Gershon

Hi Gershon, This is adorable. I like the relationship between the boy and his pony. Great job. Have a great evening:-) Alexis

My 9 year old granddaughter loved your "Pretty Neat" rhyme best for the contest. This one is good too, but I would enter the "Pretty Neat" one in the contest if it were me. Just my humble opinion and my granddaughter's. Hugs Connie xxoo

OK, Connie. I trust your women's intuition, (even without your granddaughter's opinion, by the way). But with both of you voting for 'Pretty Neat,' it's a no-brainer. I'll change my entry, and we'll see what happens! Thanks, gw
