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...

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 ...

Premium Member A Fly Taught Me to Fly
It 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...

Premium Member Upon a Meadow
Upon 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...

The Caravan of Stars
Along 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 Maybe
I 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,...
