Premium Member Pretty Ponies

I thought there would be pretty ponies Ponies to carry me around the bend But I find there are no ponies at all Only empty wishes at the end...

Cosmic Carousel

Band organ booms, chimes,

one-way-one-trick ponies spin;

bright lights, night young, don't

look back, turn fast enough and

time will disappear and shine.

up on the moors, sweet love
shadows dance at dusk.
low across the purple shades
wild ponies whinny 
and snuffle steam into brown grass
while curlews cry the sun to rest.

lively little lovely lithe lambs
merrily milling around Marty’s Milwaukee
nibbling nutty Nabisco nuggets
outstandingly joyful and childlike
prancing prettily like playful petite ponies

Snow Ponies

Paint ponies in the snow
delicate dusting across their backs
like confectioner sugar 
sifted
so fine... and
puffy, light, white powder
laying on the land..
Oh how we love
our gentle
Arizona winters!


God Granted While We Planted

God Granted While We Planted

My God to me great things he has granted;
Helped grow fields after they were planted;
Flowers flourish;
Then did nourish;
Brought patience to ponies as they panted.

Onward Tiny Soldiers

Rising at her early dawn, Love's precious babies
Riding atop tiny ponies; plastic swords swirling high
Amid the air; on to joyous victory they go *.* Stopping
To play hopscotch while Daddyyyy (* takes care of the rest.

prancing ponies of peculiarity
quintessential quips of quality
rapidly revitalize and rejuvenate me
showing sensitive shards of sincerity
transmogrifying tingling tangle of truth
underlying and unifying undying unity.

Ponies Trampling Snorted Dreams -

Where no ponies free ranged, I dreamt to break and wrangle paints.
            Where ponies bent, broke and bridled, I dreamt to hang away my spurs.
                 Where no ponies free range, I have no spurs and wrangle paints.

My Lovely Cumbria

Dry stone walls
And rambling lanes
Fell ponies with six foot manes 
Farmers at the market with sheep  to sell
Snow in the winter blocking shap fell
Wellies in the kitchen 
Straw in the hall
Not forgetting the barometer on the wall.

A Midnight Ride

Marsh
Ponies
once roamed
here. Nickering
their abundant joy.
Wild beauty Now extinct.
Sometimes, on a foggy night
folks have seen ghost herds frolicking
along the sand where dunes meet the sea.
I would Love to go for a Midnight ride.

pretty purple paisley ponies prancing away
quintessential queens quirkily quipping one day
respectfully raising radiant raptors red and gray
spectacular spotlights shimmying a smooth sashay
terrific trotting trembling truckers down by the bay

Crazy Dreams

Porcelain Ponies
Warthog Knees
Falling Up
Stinging Bees
Windows on Ceilings
Clouds on the Ground
Vegetables Talking
Clowns only Frown
Monkeys Ride Camels
Dogs Climbing Trees
Oceans of Sand
Lakes Made of Cheese
Such is the realm,
of Crazy Night Dreams!

Distant Hooves

America’s
faded glory
the polo field
reminds

Of years
of fleeting greatness
and hopes that lived
in kind

A child walks
the ball field
where ponies
used to tread

With memories
buried deep below
their grandeur
— all but dead

Nightfall

The graceful pine stood proud and tall
A huge silhouette by nightfall

Nearby the Indians' canoes moved swiftly through the streams
While the children slept and rode wild ponies in their dreams

The stars lit the silent shadowed plains
Pierced by shrill whistles of passing trains

Premium Member Natures Artwork

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.

Premium Member My Joy

my little little girl
you fill my world
with rainbows and ponies

having you around 
making your sounds
sooths my soul and comforts me

you play with your toys
with so little noise
i have to look around

thank God your still there
your my every care
by you i am spellbound



(For Erleena, Ashley, Yasmin and my baby sister)

Premium Member Admiring Brother Horse

Paiute warrior horses cannot outrun wild quarter horses.
Spanish mustangs and Chickasaw ponies run past.
Taunting and daring native americans to try and corral them.

Paiute warriors admire the way brother horse runs.
He is outfoxing them, wise and wonderful in his wildness.
They turn back to their homeland, knowing they have been bested.

Enjoying Nature

Wild young ponies on the run
Put their heart and soul in it
Only stopping long enough
To raise their tails a minute

One stops to ride another
Is he mad or just frisky? 
Guess I could try to find out
But that would be real risky

I love the wild animals.....
Hey, they're coming this way!
Time for a hasty exit!
Anybody got some hay?

A Horse Story

This a story of many horses 
viewed in the eyes of a child
as she stood there gasping 
at the death wagon, a while.

All were frozen from the cold
as the memory does unfold
in the dead of winter, no cover
ponies and mules tried to hover

Oh what she would have given 
to have owned one beauty there
And from this horror learned,
To forgive those who didn't care.

Lonesome Ponies

A simple human hand
Comforting their forehead
They looked so sad
They seemed to drain my heart
I wanted to stay for longer
To keep them company
They grasped at every part of me
Their busy eyes
Veiled by the fence
I brushed aside their mane
To see hope
To see a friend
To see a thankyou
Tomorrow
I will go back again
With carrots
And a promise to stay longer

Premium Member our spoiled boys

our boys have the run of the house
an enormous dog run
their own screened in porch
and a play yard fit for ponies
appropriate since they are pony-sized-dogs
they are also air-conditioned-spoiled
the only way to get them to the yard is to go myself
I am here now, sitting in the sun
the boys are hiding under lawn furniture
seeking shade, wishing for air conditioning

Premium Member wearing pajamas to breakfast

wear pajamas to breakfast if you can
this was said by my cute guy garbage man
he is a witty guy, this man named Stan
He said it to my dementia-teetering grandma Nan

She showed up in the cafeteria in her pajamas too
They have cartoon ponies on them in pink and blue
No one noticed, for the rest of them were casual at this meal.
No one hustled her back to her room, it was no big deal.

The Imaginary World

Polka dot marshmellows

Extraordinary gold and red glitter

bronzed litter with bow ties

glorious epiphanies of light

trajectories of colored confetti

rosies, posies, peonies, and ponies

sandals, beaches, stars out of reaches

babies tickled squeals and banana peals

dolphin personalities and unicorn horns

is the imaginary world
