Mushrooms
They were all out standing in their field
with an ass or two and a few moose
along with a stray Canadian goose
when someone let the Appaloosas loose
not a welcome sight nor pretty view
while the moose who cud did slowly chew
the well-trained colt did not bolt
or even buck to shuck us
the goose didn't give a honk or...

Horses respond and track courses
For gait-along ease
A dah-dit leg squeeze
Serves steeds and their Morse code sources...

National, Not Tribal
As some Indians
(dot, not feather)
go to great lengths
to ingratiate themselves
by obsequious behaviour
(bob your head if you agree with me)
could it be the origin
of the expression,
'To curry favour'?
Tho' hunger knows no bounds
forget the fatted calf
despite the nation suffering
from starvation by more than half
they'll curry a horse
but not a cow
those bovine ungulates
are holier than thou

A Fly Taught Me to FlyIt came like a whisper
on wings too dirty for angels,
a fly with no gospel—
just bloodlust and fire.
I don’t remember the bite—
only the stories they told me—
the brain-boil, the silence
of a body already leaving,
the baby too lethargic
to be called alive,
and the ice-water baths.
Above the crib, they hovered—
not angels, not flies,
but entities without names,
bodiless heads...

Horse Sense
Are gay jockeys fruit of the loom
when riding a race on the course,
and would they need the helping hand
of a leg-up
to get on their high horse?
Would a long-faced horse,
a sourpuss,
not wanting to be a player,
bolt the barn door
or be a neigh-sayer?
If a broke cowboy saddled with a nag,
a dark horse of a different colour
that's *****,
were...

Upon a MeadowUpon the meadow where you were born,
I make a vow to stay by your side,
And though my heart in anguish is torn,
Tear-filled eyes remember our last ride.
You breathe hard as you lay in the grass.
Your heart beats like the thunder of earth.
In its own time, life will let you pass
To look for the mare who...

Kentucky Derby DayToday is Derby Day
It is a big day in Kentucky
I have never attended,
but I try to watch each year
I love to see the dresses
and the fancy hats
and the beautiful, strong
horses give their all
It is a special day that people
in other states may not
think is a big deal
but I love Derby Day...

The Caravan of StarsAlong the road where moonbeams spill,
the gypsy wagons wander still.
Their lanterns swing like fireflies caught,
each wheel a whisper, each song a thought.
The fiddler hums a ghostly tune,
that weaves beneath the weeping moon.
A tambourine keeps time with dreams,
and horses wade through silver streams.
No map can mark the path they tread,
no stone remembers where they led.
They chase...

The Horse Named MaybeI bought me a horse from a feller named Clyde,
said, "She’s gentle and sweet, just a joy for to ride."
Well, "Maybe" she was, and maybe she weren't--
the first thing she did was dump me in dirt.
I saddled up hopeful, boots shiny and proud,
"Maybe" just yawned and sat down on the ground.
I pulled, and I pushed,...

The Cute Kind
Tasse and Gobelet are lovers.
Two beautiful peacocks.
I made a wager on the horses
,but didn't wanna tell my friends.
The woman said. She would
listen to Organ music during the day
often times she'd sing along with
the words to the songs: she had
an old book with songs,rhymns and poems
in it. She'd get up early in...
