Short Hoofs Poems

When we take
Second chances,
The hoofs of dreams
Gallop down
This winding road
Ignites the engine
Of this soul...

Morning hoofs a trail of smoke,
Horsepower for modern folk,
With eyes slightly open for pay.
Watch others dive in, do backstroke.

Porker flies on the most amazing steampunk pig.
Little things happen, and no one makes them big.
Gears and bells are hanging off his snout and hoofs.
He makes some grunts, but no meows or whoofs....

On the steps to no where
She runs pounding with horse hoofs 
No one chases her but she feels they are
She is panting when she finally collapses.
Before we can capture her, she is off again.
Running from grief....

So wildebeest must have a lot of time on their hoofs
If you've seen a herd, you'll know they've found the nook
They surely enjoy sex
Females always say yes
Male asks “gnu”? And the task is undertook!...

Rain on a metal roof:
a host of pixies in a race,
their horses join a merry chase
with little, tiny hoofs
that never seem to leave a trace…
Alas, I have no proof!

O the lonely falling leaf does foretell,
The coming of the sad season;
With sounds of scary galloping hoofs 
And frightening ringing bell.
O the ground is shaking…
The heart is aching and it feels like hell.

The silence slips away
The sanguine tides crusade
Upended sentences are untold
To touch the earth
and see a circuit of lies
shrouded by a nothing call
The hoofs of horses roam
to myriad kingdoms
putting your best foot forward...

Hoofs stomping and rumble the ground.
Ones not enough but tens alright.
Roans and bays are my favorite for sure.
Some are so naughty but most are alright.
Everyone needs to love a horse that’s my insight.
Socks and snips are beautiful alright....

Donkey in the farm, strong hoofs romping
Wonky when you charm, long spoofs hooting

Donkey standing as you stare, shy when you dare
Teeth grinning as you glare, dry when you blare

Sweet and gentle that sire, donkey of your eye
Lifeguard under fire, wise and clean with your lye...

seems you ride a similar hoss,
i have a redhead yes of course,
but she dumps me in the field of play,
and pigroots till she gets away ,
gotta duck the tomato sauce,
and the back hoofs of remorse,
little Brumbie's run away...:)

thanks David Williams "a pretty red head"

Devilish cavalries and blazing hoofs.
Over-crowded graveyards and watery roofs,
Strangled whispers of colorless pain; I breathe.
Unemotional embrace and freezing wreath.
The scene is desolate, forlorn and inhumanely cold,
I got those feelings of abandoned cemeteries and wrinkles old.

PIGS GO OINK
COWS GO MOO
GHOSTS SAY BOO
NOTHING NEW
HORSE GOES NEIGH
BUT WHAT DOES THE TURTLE SAY?

?

BIRD WINGS GO FLIP FLAP
FISH FINS GO SPLISH SPLASH
HORSE HOOFS GO CLIP CLOP
SNAKE BELLY GOES SLITHER
SANTA CLAUSE SAYS HO HO HO
BUT WHAT’S THE SOUND OF THE CAMEL TOE?


WHAT DAY IS IT?

EVERYDAY IS HUMP DAY

Loaded in the starting gate
Who will win nobody knows
The buzzer sounds
And off they go 
Thundering down the track
Jockey's on thier back 
Riding with adrenaline
Making thier way around the bend 
To the home stretch
Thier hoofs thundering like a storm 
Down the path to victory
First, second, and third 
Winning by a nose 
The amazing thrill of race day...

You may think I've been idle

But my hand's still on the bridle

Of this old tired bay

As I lead him this way


Where once,  hoofs were beating

I find,  sounds of them retreating

Well into the night

As the whole herd takes flight


Soon, the range will be silent

As it's clearly lacking clients

And I hear the grass grow

Beneath my feet, as they go...

i won’t come back

and the shadow of the horse does not
slide behind the soft clock
chtuck* here
chtuck here
i won’t come back

yes mem
in the air is spread
a sound and silence
and the built stays much

i won’t come back
for digging
the mall is digs
digging for a worm 

i won’t come back
please

* an author’s unique approach to resemble the clatter of hoofs...

Christmas bring happy tiding

From far and wide..

Happy faces smile with glee

Waiting for “Ole Saint Nick”

Cookies and milk all sitting in

Place,

Hoping, trying to get a glance

Of Santa..

While the jingle bells ring from

His sledge..

Scraping the roof with his reindeer

Hoofs..

He cry out with a jolly laugh merry

Christmas 

To one and to all......

Golden water glittering through
delicate weeping willow leaves
Swans swimming on  the lake
Grand  house on top of the hill
neatly framed with many trees
Shingled roof  peaked gables
Large arched windowed eyes
Carpeted  flowers staircases
Marble floor,  chequered hall
Dining room living room den
Settee Louis XVI parlor chair
Deep  yellow blue pink letter
Clatter of  six sets  of  hoofs...

It was a lingering goodbye 
for anchor moon
after a religious embrace.
I bid farewell 
in the chilling night
for a song of separation.

Where the beginning ends
into a house of distillation.
Blasphemy, where did you find
the anatomy of truth ? Mortality
demands a long 
journey of tender age in prayers of sprouts. 

The eloquence of dictionary 
expects the price of hoofs 
to stay with otherness.

African-American rodeo cowboy, farmer
Lover of “bulldogging”
Twist the head turn the horns of the bull
Bite his neck wrestle to the ground
Field fell the tricks kick the hoofs off the ground
Rancher, married to Maggie Turner
Together they produced 9 children
Rodeo Cowboy, ‘Wild West show performer

Writing musical notes with magical hoofs
enchanted, I  ride on a mystical,
jet black dream steed.
Proud head barely constrained by a
pure white bridle and snow white reins,
my pale chiffon gown,
floats near his flanks speaking
of innocence, flounces gathered by 
tiny, pink rosebuds and white gardenias.

Slow motion, dreamlike,
the night sky behind us like a
dark, demonic power as we
become starlight....

Rains pitter patter through the day
Running rivulets on their way
Swirls of slushy earth delay.

Rains low hum sudden changing pace
Pelting rain tramping off hoofs race
Upon roofs drops run and chase

Rain puddles children squealing sounds
A house gleams and lies upside down
The velvet sky in pools round

Rainbow announces my embrace
Emerging from horizons space
A bow across the skies grace.

Sturdy cowboys 
evolved as heroes,
Well built, stout featured,
Wooden attire
Arched hats, spiky shoes,
Tough looks as is life !

Farmhouse mornings,
Saddle the stallion,
Solid hoofs sound,
Get into the saddle
For a day's ride,
Horse around or about !

Leading the herd
Get on high horse,
Appear out of woods
Clouds of dust follow,
Awaken devils
Legendary heroes !

Cynecdoche The figures of speech
The Village rose at midnight
And each house wore delight
The festive mood squated on roofs
In hectic rhythm moved the hoofs
Horse race was followed by buffalo contest
Then human legs were put to test
The fairsex put on maiden attire
And the ageing lot sat near fire
The green calves cracked fireworks
while blind birds sat on treeperks
The daybreak was still very far
when in distant sky I saw a pulsar...

Christmas is comming soon childrens eyes begin to glisten.
When night falls the children begin to listen.

Hopeing to hear reindeer hoofs and santa's sleigh.
Leaving cookies and milk for Christmas day.

A model car for a boy for a girl a pretty doll.
On Christmas eve the snow is begining to fall.

We want all of our hopes and dreams to come true.
So have a very Merry Christmas from me to you.
