I Want To Use Prissy Again

a battalion of horses
prancing around in my mind
snorting and pawing
make my muse crazy with happiness

mice run through their feed
she loves that, it gives her a start
I roll my eyes
not fond of rodents

adjectives on fire ping themselves in my musings
the usual suspects
some I have used so often
I have embarrassed myself

persnickety and prissy being two of my favorites.
redundant I use them so often
I want to use prissy again! Trixie says
I back off; she can be a very unforgiving muse.

Well, I'll use 'prissy.' Haven't used it for ages, if ever. You can use some of mine: Big, Huge, uh, er, well -- Donald J. Trump

I would never use the name of He-who-shall-not-be-named. We call him the Anti-Christ here.

Well, honestly neither of the two do I see very often in anyone's poems here on the site.
