Short Stirrups Poems

Rattling  hocks
And that mane flowing free
Stirrups adangle 
You danced around me
Wrapped up in reins
And enraptured it's true
It was a cinch I'd be saddled with you...

New young female doctor introduces self
Hi. I am Natalie.
I do love a female so I relax.
I am highly suspect of a male doctor.
Who would want to go where no one ever wants to go
To see what no man in his right man would ever want to see
except maybe in a delivery room if they were the daddy.
I place my feet in the stirrups
Waiting for the pinch...

Like a child upon a steed 
having not a care or need 
Sitting high up in the seat 
stirrups hold your tiny feet. 

Ride along my mighty friend

Find your treasure or your gold 
Find it soon, before you’re old.  

Laughter brings a happy sound 
as you ride around, around. 
Hold on tight so you don’t miss 
the views along this ride of bliss....

He slid his feet deeper into the stirrups
As the body beneath him collected 
connecting with his feelings
Two centers of gravity locked in alignment.
Walking on four feet seeing with four eyes
Communicating with twitches of  hinted movement

were trying to measure the silence 
before the cloudburst.

The white noises were

ready to pull down the stapes.

A cochlear fall from the
great heights of vesuvian peak.
No matter how big was the chasm.

You have given up yourself
to broken stirrups. The planets
begin the dance without the god Apollo.

The road never ends. The
rider stands alone to ride the moon
gliding over the empty sea.
