Equine Lasagne
Has this lasagne
Ever worn a saddle
Or been ridden in the Melbourne cup?
I'm Curious as I bought it
In the supermarket cheap
When the price of beef was up
Though as I sit here looking
In the paddock next door
Where a stallion is quietly grazing
It occurs to me the lasagne you...

Cowgirl Up
Pitching a leg across the nether
Of a pretty appaloosa or possibly
A chestnut bay who needs to know
That she’s being ridden by someone
Who will take her through the paces,
Strides both gentle and regulated
By a walk, a canter, a gallop, a sprint
Where she feels all her steps
Light, loose and limber as liquid love
That rains down from a...

Holiday Fun Re-Write For the Equine Inclined 2
Frosty the Roan Man
Frosty the Roan Man was a jolly, happy soul
with a big wide blaze and a frosted butt
and two eyes made out of Love
Frosty the Roan Man is a fairy tale they say
but the children cluck he could rear and buck
when he came to life one day
There...

equine telegraphy
Riders exert steering forces
Horses respond and track courses
For gait-along ease
A dah-dit leg squeeze
Serves steeds and their Morse code sources...

A Hundred Equine
A Hundred Equine
Hot salty drops trickled into my mouth.
The sun had changed my brown flesh to bright red.
Reflected brilliance passed through squinting eyes.
Faint, I rested in shade eating sweetbread.
I lay my head on a smooth slab of stone.
Thinking. Resting, in an ancient dwelling.
Dreaming in the coolness with ancestors.
Imaginary golden wings, flying.
Upon the cave walls...

Equine Lines
Shaped by and for wind
the free flowing mane
timetables share in
the horses of the plain
Gallop trot sprint unfold
climbing breezes oblivion
stoney story is told
sculpted in black obsidian
Herds mighty now stampede
on hooves brittle exposed
o’er rocky ground to succeed
the grasses’ tufts unimposed
Crashing prairie like thunder
wet glowing shape in steam
gathers around from under
yellow...

Hamish the Horse
Swish tailed Hamish, gloss black Stallion
Proud prize show hero bore blue medallion
Champion head turner tenacious steed
Lonely hoof stomper longed for a companion
Incidence of coinciding reserved to imagine
Narrow minded owners oblivious to his need
High knee haughty mare trotted by his enclosure
Temptation's waft overcame limited exposure
Hamish neighed a friend request, - she agreed
Lake rippled muscle, alpha...

Karen Cook: Equine Devotion
In the realm of my heart, there resides Karen Cook,
A love that enchants, like a well-written book.
Her grace is a melody, a dance of pure bliss,
Her smile like the sun, warming every abyss.
A love story painted with hues of devotion,
Karen's presence alone sparks an endless emotion.
Within her, a spirit of strength and gentle grace,
A soul...

Equine Knocks
Oak leather and loose latigo
Wash wind as saddles sing—
Splashing cool creeks the horses know—
Humming hoofs summers bring.
Sun sparkles dappled trees ahead
As we now gallop on—
Our eyes are clear and faces red
As we race to the pond.
We’re twelve years old and full of *****
As my horse rears to buck—
Then I fall hard and go...

Cowboy Poetry
Misty
Majestically standing in the field,
Black coat shiny, bright and sleek,
Pampered and good-natured,
Recently shod to ride,
Comfortable saddle to sit upon,
Whinnied to say "come on",
Spirited you want to run,
To own and ride a horse is a blessing not a chore,
Treat them right they will be loyal to the core,
Mistreat them !!!!!!!! Beware they kick....
