Notes About The Poem

Rocking Horse Rounds

movement
swaying full hips
circle 

circle
avoiding touch
heat stroke

stroke
long, deep, and hard
rhythmic

rhythmic 
overflowing 
waves rock

rocking
stallion ridden
sleep comes

coming
home lullaby
sweet sound

soundless
dawn breaks the night
cock crows

crows flock
in fertile fields
hybrid

high bred
the son is born
again

classic case of writing for myself & not the judge - it may be an uncomfortable reality what I have shown in verse non-the-less it is a reality ;)
