The Oval

Racing the oval of tide Watching the sun and moon collide Riding on horses in the oval of fate Saddling on courses in the ring of slate Horses in breeds of colors and shade Forces in creeds of odors and glade Mares and lasses of cold and wintry grounds Grasses and races on parch, dusty mounds Sun speaks of myths and bounds of horses' blether Moon tweaks on blithes and squally weather Sun and moon are light and dark horses Scuttling, bustling in many races Sprinting is a long distance course Glinting and weltering without remorse Humans breathe as horses, treading and running with reins Born to win in the oval... praying, striving with strong veins!
