Machinacs Gold-W

By sheer chance visited Machinac’s island for a few hours
October is the time for frosts, blankets and snowflakes
Where one cannot travel in the motorized vehicles
Beauty of an island is one of Michigan’s pleasures.

Snowflakes, the untouched beauty of nature
They fall with a whisper that you can barely hear
Wild horse, wild horse that is snowflake white
Runs like the wind and glides through the night.   

The term meaningful in the world of Appaloosas horses
The breed with a wide range of color variants
Having mottled skin on their lips, genitals and eyes
With striped hooves and thin skimpy manes and tails.

So fascinating and exotic is the color pattern on the body
Looking like someone has placed a blanket on its body
With a pattern of spots tipped or frosted blonde or white
Snowflakes landing on the horses like random spots white.

Swirling and drifting- galloping and skipping motions
The horses and snowflakes like poetry of emotions.

What a beautiful sketch of the land filled with rocks, wind, snowflakes and above all the beautiful horses. For a moment, you reminded the faint image of that lovely film. Great write with enchanting colors. My good wishes for your contest. I have placed a new Poem/Kawaali with a supporting Blog. Hope you would like it and would give your valuable suggestions to make it in complete singing form, Love and best wishes ...Ravindra....Dr. Ram Mehta

The Appaloosas are gorgeous, Dr. Mehta. How I'd love to see a group of them running wild on the island you describe so well in your great poem. I also want to thank you for offering encouragement to me. It's much appreciated. Good luck in the contest! Diane

I've never visited the island in October, but have been to Traverse City most times of the year. That would be quite a picture - climbing the hill to the Grand Hotel, the horses pulling midst the snowflakes. Nice picture, Doc. Love, Dave
