Long Racehorse Poems

Hope in me and mine
Surrendered to Christ's lifeline
The gospel design

Satan's stronghold fell
His counterattack to quell
Standing saints repel

Just two percent more
That competition calls for
To heighten your soar

Debtors on the run
For His water, soil, and sun
Only the...

It’s great to be a member of the global elite,
   The bean poles in my garden are standing proud and neat.
Organic veg is thriving thanks to ample bags of peat.

predicated on rumored sightings dive
ving fast as blazing saddles, 
     her blitzkrieg, 
     nothing but a blurry beehive.)

Swifter than Usain

I've grown rusty and unused to summoning words from a blank page - but FINALLY - there's something new to describe. School (11th grade) is over - at last - and... more.

There's a party tonight...

TEN MINUTES THAT DIDN’T SHAKE THE WORLD

They seemed to talk only in metaphor  or simile
And in what they call   stream-of-consciousness - 
These two young women in the café overheard yesterday -
About something...

This tanned wee white child of Welsh-English
With a bit of American Indian flowing 
like a creek running through the meadow;
p-h-y-s-i-o-l-o-g-y spelled out loud
Daddy was proud of his four year-old girl
raven haired, black eyes flashing with...

There’s a mate of mine in trouble so I had to help him out.
We were a pair of silly buggers, well known without a doubt.
You see we thought that smoking pot would be just a...

I see no Knight in shining armour
On his trusty steed
I can't see the local farmer or man of any
Colour or creed

Who would want a valentine like me
No man with any sense
Who would date a woman
Who's...

Written after re-reading the fable ‘the tortoise and the hare’ … I thought I would give the story a little updating!


A racehorse and an old donkey challenged one another to a race
‘I’m sure to win’...

Ode To Romanova - A Good Horse

Romanova is a good horse;
truly one of a kind;
Her story I will tell you 
if so you are inclined.

She'd the look of a racehorse;
tall of stature, red of hue;
With...

COLIN ROSS

Colin Ross the squatter man
He wore a suit of black
He carried a pistol on his hip
And a cross of gold hung slack
Deadfox Dancy looked up from his sheep ...
(so called for raffling a dead...

Drongo Leery

Riding on old drongo Leery, 
poor old bugger, ticks n lice,
Dodging Traps, Police n Troopers,
Catch a racehorse would be nice.

Robbed a fellow down the river ,
Had no money, he was nice,
Didn’t have no dung...

Grief lasts for a little while.
Its hurt does beguile.
Nightmare’s fog released, ‘where am I’
A torrential fracture of the sky.

Indeed the steps, you can’t deny,
as you’re not ready to say goodbye.
You still feel the hand you...

She has a cowgirl hat and a set of spurs,
And sometimes she's as gentle as a cat that purrs,
Imagine that....she's my way with words,
And her and I together'd tame a buffalo herd,

Yea! she's the cats...

It's Day but It's Night,
It's Dark but the light is present,
It's Cold but the light is present,
It's War but no Fight!
It's awkward, Silent and Smelling!
I wonder if I'm dreaming or I'm awake?

Years ago, They fought...

I Wish My New Year's Resolution Has Legs

Every year I take the same old stride
For the first few days, I'm a racehorse
I saddle all my to-do-list with pride
Then by the second week, I lose the...

At least I have an understanding now,
Of what's causing all my pain,
It doesn't really help yet,
It's still driving me insane.
I'm having trouble sleeping,
My pills make me feel sick,
My head's filled with cotton balls,
It really feels...

Rocky

Rock is not a racehorse, 
he is a tiny Billy goat. 
He thinks he is much larger
than he really is. 
One day, 
he will be all that he believes 
he already is. 
That will be...

You would never know me,
But a theme you were of my dream,
Filled by love to the brim,
Unfulfilled that withered like cream.

You would never know me,
Nor my rose petals in your book
I chanced to have a...

My goal's to reach a hundred
my friend he said to me.
What, runs in cricket, drinking pints?
No years you dope, said he.

I want to live to be a ton,
a century I must reach.
Why on earth do...

Again, he broke when the gate bell was still clanging,
then took off so fast... to the reins I was left hanging.
He's wearing a goofy smile that says, "I'm so proud,"
but he's forgotten just one thing......

I Sought To Touch All The Burning Fires

 in the distance starting gunshot sounds
 This racehorse needs no governing bridle
 Race like the rabbit running from the...

In equine racing they always say,
You hope to win when you make your play;
Off course as you know,it's the horses that show,
They're the only ones to make their hay.
With no help from the divine my...

Competition day had arrived,
His muzzle twitched with anticipation
And in relation my feet tingled in a way like never before.
For the first time, we both doubted ourselves

But fear not, we must carry on
As I plaited his...
