Best Kick Your Heels Poems

My Molly May

I had a little pony
I called her Molly May
So often I would venture out
And feed her bales of hay.

So then she’d frolic
Kick her heels up high
Round and round she would run
Looking sweet as she passed by.

She’d run until she was worn out
Then to...

The moon is bright, and the chores are done
Tonight's the night to have some fun!

The harvest in, calls for a night's hell-raisin'
Take me out in the old hay wagon!

Not far to go, where the old dirt road ends
There on the left, where the oak branch...

Have you ever stopped yourself 
when thinking of your present life and
wishing for a better tomorrow?
Then realized tomorrow is elusive.

Indefinable like an illusion,
as tomorrow is always close
but too far to reach,
yet with patience tomorrow always becomes today.

Tomorrow, the savior of yesterday’s guilty misdeeds
and cradle of...

On this day 40 years ago in 1978 my mother, Jacqueline Anne Trestrail, left this world after a relatively short battle with cancer - she was 46. Jimmy Carter was President and Annie Hall won best picture at the Oscars that year. I mark the...

I squeeze in on the horse’s side,
spurring the mustang to a trot,
he makes his way on this trail ride,
up a hill to a sunny spot.

Three others are along with me,
two strangers and guide, the owner,
there blows a subtle, cooling breeze,
the guide cracks a joke, a...

 ~The Hot Spell Is Over~
Watching the clouds gather
There is thunder in the air
After a beautiful week 
It really doesn’t seem fair
We finally cast off winter woollies
Then sat with hankies on our heads
Tomorrow I suppose the Wellingtons are out
And we put back on our winter...

Too deeply I think, 
crashing around in my mind
Old age....Approaching death, 
desperation to find
Lost time, old friend
your keeping, a wonder
Moments I've missed and forgotten, much longer
Time I once knew, where you went 
hiding under.
Holding me hostage, for knowledge I hunger
I try to recall, why they...

You see me, I know
Caked with deepen shade
Everyone teased, but you hurt the worst
When you ignored and walked away

Now limping with a heartache
Disadvantaged with a broken soul
Those physical abuse wasn't their game
Teasing and taunts satisfied their toll

Thought you would stand up
And defend the scars under...

I close my eyes and look back,
always back...
to a time, a place,
to you...
I wonder about you,
often I wonder,
always you...
I loved you dearly,
only you...
love parted,
no one's fault,
just parted...
I longed for you daily,
each hour...
I looked for you nightly,
every night...
I called out for you,
strongly, loudly...
I never heard an...

Boredom is such a drag it sucks,
It sucks the life away from us.
A waste of time, a waste of space,
There's so much waste we waste away.
We kick our heels and laugh out loud,
we pray our prayers, we scream and shout.
we spend our time with pointless...

The Walk

Roans, chestnuts, blacks and greys
Stand the line in perfect swathes
Tunic buttons and brasses glisten
Brave men sit and for orders listen

The finest horse out on parade
Six hundred men, the Light Brigade
Speedy chargers of sword and lance
This day of glory for taking chance

The bugle sounds, the...

You could feel it in the atmosphere
Things were set to change
The girl from the Midwest was here
And things got mighty strange

She came from Kansas, the mid west
She was country through and through
But when she came in wearing that red vest
You never knew what she would...

Be easygoing, jovial, beaming good cheer,
With a happy-go-lucky coat hiding gloom's smear.
Beaming a carefree heart, shining a joyful grin,
Let's rekindle the joyousness that lies within.

No troubles too heavy, no burdens too large,
Can quell a positive attitude in charge,
That finds joyfulness in the simplest recall,
Of revered...

I saw my favorite girl and boy
First time since March, oh joy! oh joy!
I can’t explain how good it feels - 
I want to leap and kick my heels.

By their reactions, I am sure,
From when we first walked through the door,
They missed us, too, but...
