So swift behooves,
In challenging quest,
Competitive hearts,
Race their best,
A treasure to win,
One measurable test,
For equine ones,
The World's Best....

A horse of course
Can find the source
To whinny with
Such great force,
This force of course 
Can make him hoarse,
Let's hope he doesn't
Suffer equine remorse....

Out of the  horses of this world 
YOU had to arrive at my door 
beautiful, wild and free 
skirting the meadows of my soul 
you intoxicated me with 
your equine power and stun...

June birds 
Umpteen wings
Notes from the blue
Endless flight
Tweeting palms
Equine response
Emerging windows
Nuclear sparks
Thermal flowers
Harvesting season

Listen to poem:

DECK THE STALLS

Deck the stalls with lots of Friesians 
fa la la la la, la la la la

Tis the season to be Freezin
fa la la la la, la la la la

Donned we now our Carhart apparrell
fa la la, fa la la, la la la

Troll the ancient manure wheel barrow
fa la la la la, la la, ha ha!...

Painted ponies
across the plains;
splashes of color
against an azure sky;
an equine convention
in the clouds.

Stratospheric
abstracts meet
with colors to produce
ecstatic paintings.

Nature’s canvas
is everywhere and
She paints life
with vigorous
enthusiasm.

Nothing is so beautiful
as equestrian events,
watching graceful horses,
while droppings add their scents.

For true equine lovers,
there is such a thrill
in the coordination of
a well-performed quadrille.

This is one Olympic sport,
where both he and she compete.
Jumping fences or dressage;
they're equal at the meet....

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....

such a happy treat
an apple for special friend
equine contentment

warm winter stable
happy whinnies from within
affectionate nudge

spring will soon be here
uplifting sight horse grazing
high spirits prevail

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 could make from that
 Would be both quantity and taste, amazing
                                GB...

To sit a horse in winds of force
With whiskers blowing in the face
Of risking knowing it's a race
Through hills and dales of clinging gorse
To save a little face without remorse
Before the sun has run its course
But mostly just to sit a horse
and feel the mounting joy
beneath my trembled legs
As feelings spread to mind equine
And all our world is ever fine
On dancing hooves I feel are mine...

"Winged Warrior"

winged horse
divine white steed
creature defeats fierce monsters
"gods" placed equine amongst skyline
mythical male stallion


horse-god
mane mirrors snow
profound wisdom warrior
poets penned symbolic ascent
Heaven's Knight fantasy

Rings around an equine leg,
captured gait and proud of heritage,
slice my heart to freedom's pitch
to lay the stones to pave
Fields should sway in wildflower metronomes
to the running hooves of a thousand feet
Sun on manes and nostril steam
breaking the morning dew in clumps
and yet I watch as canters stop painfully short
and white wood fences become brick walls
to never be toppled, except in flight
in midnight eyes and fire....

Wild and free
Amid waters of blue
Amongst lush green grasses
This equine shines through

Pale blue skies
Snows among the firs
Nature at her best
Makes you want to purr

Beautiful sights surround us
On our earthly lands
This horse so wild and free
Just as nature planned

Our generations of tomorrow
Have the right to see
What my eyes behold
That i see in front of me

Red beacon, burnished landmark

Rustic domiscile, ruddy stable


Sentinel on the scenic route

Natural redoubt with primitive clout


Wooden canvas, organic sculpture

Unvarnished facade with homespun charm


Fabricated equine loft

Habituated shelter for rodent, fowl


Free-flowing form in static realm

Leased to the fertile land you adorn


Pastoral heirloom, cherished monument

Essential dwelling, nostalgic mold...

This Craft
My Little Sidetrack

The Hair of the Equine
So Beautifully Strong
A Symbol of their Noble Worth
From which I fashion Creations for your Adornment

For some a Humble Trinket
of a Creature they Adore
For some a Lasting Bond
to the One whom they Adored

Each Strand between my fingers
Carefully laid, Carefully made
I twist and weave Memories into Love's Last Locks

An awe of cavernous heartbeats
turned her features equine.

Listening to wind-hollowed chests,
she heard the shape of her life,
the blowing of tubular organs
elongating her face,
into sculptured snorts.

I liked her snagged toothiness.
the linkage of her broad scapulars,
deeply tooled and studded,
a back ready to be saddled by labor,
hitched to days of hay and manure.

When she laughed, hooves stomped
into green rubber
a ponytail swinging from her grey mane....
