Paradise Holds A Horse's Crown ~o~ ~o~ ~o~ Tis naught mere magic to be found, for they have lept beyond the ground, All in plastic they wore as gowned, smiled in pretense confused the frowned, Paint ashen white and horsey browned, ere their lift dips flowerbed drowned, All earlier had been preowned, earned their freedom per pound by pound, For they had pranced purposed meant clowned froze on carousels round and round, ~o~ ~o~ ~o~ Paradise holds a horse's crown, ~o~ ~o~ ~o~ Naught to gait frolic fixed they wound, gift with horse sense made naught a sound, In righteousness, they did expound, wonders commenced and made a mound, That they grew from merry-go-round, launched by faith be now Heaven bound, Sought was you deservingly hound, enwrapped in dreams had you been found, Enjoined in quest blessings surround, collectively after fairground, ~o~ ~o~ ~o~ Paradise holds a horse's crown, ~o~ ~o~ ~o~ Upon a steed saw you profound, rewards a lift be him spellbound, Comes opened gate all are inbound, a genteel spot e'er a playground, Boy gifts release gaits all around, beset in gold placed out a crown Views linger as a boy propound, a fostered life former background, A boy realized belonged crown, rightfully his steed be renowned, ~o~ ~o~ ~o~ Paradise holds a horse's crown. ~o~ ~o~ ~o~

This is an extraordinary muse William! I am still wondering why only two comments have been left here. It creates such a magical picture of fantasy and truth blended together my friend. Congratulations on your win! :)

The potency of convictions dries many inkwells, albeit, words that breathes integrity of another's earnest efforts is a comment of a true Samaritan whose post is not of frivolous ignorance, ergo, I somewhat welcome the silence than idle chatter of the readless whose post are out of need or show, thank you my true friend, Aloha!
