Short Horseback Poems

Desire overcomes my fear
I ride to her through the night
Night’s coldness upon my face
Nothing can stop me

How does it feel to love
A gentle one, a dove
It feels like hands inside glove
To find one its rough
And you have to rove
On horseback, hove
I love u boo...

There once was a cowboy from Nevada.
He wore a barf bag as a bandana. 
When he rode on his horse,
his sickness grew worse,
and his intestines flared with melena....

Senryu 

I’m a cowboy
Herding in reluctant words 
To make a poem 

Argentina’s pampas 
Where wild horses live 
Poetry in motion  

The gaucho
Is a free verse maker 
On horseback...

He’s finally free,
With his mate riding horseback.
Leaves prints in the sand.

Plans to change his world,
Now dominated by apes,
Do not kill for sport.

He then sees the past,
Fallen Lady Liberty,
Unveils man’s future....

You may conquer
on horseback
but to rule
must dismount
Pandora
lies waiting
new blood
for the fount

Napoleon

The vanquished
in chaos

Grey-robed ladies materialise at castles
Hideous red-eyed entities hover in woods
On horseback, headless riders gallop past
Silently, spectres watch and cause unease 
Throwing objects at exorcists, spirits laugh

Let’s go horseback riding; it will be fun!
I say “I don’t want to.”
She keeps hounding me.
I say “Do you want me to lie?”
I finally lie.

Because I fell off a horse
When I was five
When I was eight
When I was thirteen.
None of these times was fun....

Appaloosa, Mustang or Paint
Breeds to ride and love, breeds who ain’t
Broken by pain or heartbreak
But show them a rattlesnake
That horse won’t have much self-restraint

Standing in front of the hidden entrance

On horseback, with loud sacks

Clinking as loot hit loot.

With smiles of satisfaction adorning their faces

The chief said the magic words, and in went the team;

Safe from the spoiled, safe from the world,

Ready to go back out and lay misery on  poor souls

ROAD TRIP


Red rocks in Sedona, Arizona
Old Faithful in Yellowstone
Arch in St. Louis, Missouri
Deadwood's graveyards full of bones

Tennessee's Grand Ol' Opry
Riding horseback at Ucross Ranch
In eighteen days, I toured fourteen states
Praise God for providing the chance

This is the kind of life I want to lead;
calm and apart from civilization.
The rat race of the city I don’t need.
I’ll take this rustic part of our nation.

Let me travel the land on horseback.
We can ford a cool, flowing mountain stream.
This is the land I love called “The Outback”;
the next best thing to heaven it would seem.

She had a sword
To cut of the heads
Of subjects not fitting

She has a heart
That lies upon a cold stone
Torn, withered

A knight from afar
On horseback did ride
Passing by the tombstone

He glanced, the wind at his back
He slowed, for no reason
Other than chance

He unmounted and strolled over
To this old stone of long ago
And felt the beating heart

Of the past...

On horseback, he seemed taller
At 6’4”, he wasn’t really smaller
Than those who wore a white-collar
Going through life to make a dollar

In the picture, he didn’t have a hat
But I kept seeing him in his habitat
Where a cowboy hat on his head sat
He was an amazing rider to look at

Trump and a Trollope

Trump's favorite  type of woman was a trollope,
And on horseback with her he did like to gallop;
Deeply involved;
Solution  solved;
His scaly scalp was found in plate full of scallop.

Jim Horn

Intend and Apprehend

What we originally started to intend,
Terrible Trump we knew apprehend;
Magic melodrama,
Wearing a big bra,
And alive should have him skinned.

"Ravished"

Soft soliloquays 
whispered to an 
undressed screen 
the romance of it all
fever ridden 
sent zipped 
and unzipped 
sensually 
feather light
precocious tongues
in cheek checked
tickling ryhmes
let your fingers 
do the walking 
like long legs 
wrapped around 
hearts saddled 
like hors d’oevres
devils on horseback
sauced, sent,
ravished

Do you remember
Or has time erased the memory

You and me at the time we met
On motorcycle or on horseback
Up all night, you telling me stories

Real love was growing
Even as you fought it
Man and woman coming together as one
Endearing and enduring love
Manifesting itself over time
By dedication, passion, learning, working together
Every day, especially when we encounter struggles
Real people, real love, you and me...

flap jack
make a stack

hot dogs
covered logs

bangers and mash
make a dash

beaver tails
fill your sails

sex in a pan
better than

pig in a blanket
breakfast banquet

bubble and squeak
treat your cheek

devils on horseback
artery plaque

angels on horseback
aphrodisiac

Imam fainted
heavenly sainted

Rocky Mountain (prairie) oyster
boisterous roister

shoefly pie
my oh my

stinking bishop

in my troubled times
in those cold days
i saw the Lord
like a knight in shining armour
the Lord took flight
on the back of a horse
with His strong right hand
He took me by the hand
and placed me on a horseback
like an eagle with strong feet
the Lord took me by my shoulders
and devoured my adversary
something happened 
when He laid down His hand
in order to carry me
through the troubled waters
from then on, i knew
He touched me....
