(Legend: 1978 album by the American country-rock band Poco)
Truly a masterpiece of 'less is more',
a distinct album cover one should explore.
Little more than a handful of lines
of a galloping horse - minimal design.
A form so neat, so deft, so clean,
cutting a fine figure, suggesting a shape unseen.
It later became the de facto logo
of the American country-rock band Poco.
The red eye - a solitary splash of color,
small yet distinct
on the mostly white cover.
Ten letters on the front - not exactly wordy;
beautiful cover - just don't get it dirty.
The image projects tremendous energy,
but the mostly mellow music
brings back pleasant memory.
