Springtime Frolic

Sunlight spills on sprightly steeds,  
Spring's sweet song stirs sleeping seeds.  
Spirited stallions, sleek and swift,  
Sashaying through the springtime mist.

Silken shadows shift and sway,  
In the serene, splendid break of day.  
Three thoroughbreds rambunctiously thrive,  
Their thunderous thumps come alive.

Pastures painted in subtle shades of green,  
Outstretched playground, pure and pristine.  
Playful prancing, powerful paces,  
Pleasure painted on their faces.

Celebrating, chasing, carefree,  
Cascading manes, wild and free.  
In the cozy, comforting light,  
Spring's splendor shines so bright.

Frolicking freely, feeling fine,  
For this trine, dazzling day so divine.  
Eternal energy, ever so spry,  
Beneath the vast, vibrant sky.

Don, if you are getting email notifications for comments, then I apologize for so many emails. I'm having a good time reading your work. I find I spend a lot of time making comments and it's part of the work/fun that comes from posting a poem here. This was is a fun romp. Thinking of horses again, of course.
