galloping with flying manes

B east trio ,in front the leader is king kong
E erie,misty,demonic figures eyeing with reddish hues
A rmy of black ,gigantic hairy statures
S tand all armoured in battle to confront
T eeth snarling for enemies to destroy.

Three lines of galloping poetic thought
similar to the Haiku as it will maintain the 5-7-5 syllable count
different in that it no juxtaposition is needed

Coyote hunters
only troika 's are aloud 
snow hurricanes

come in from th' cold
heat and fire and hot drinks too
window snow shadows

Yellowstone in cold
something special in winter
with lights and warmth

winds blowing sweeping
rolling curls shape the ridge
with a great battle 

Yellowstone sun
and light spread in winter
eyes sparkle and shine

Night. 

A snow field.

The moon pours silver light.

It is good to sweep on a sledge now! 

Horses rush 

Into whirlwinds of snowflakes,

Somewhere a wolf howls, 

Somewhere, the owl cries.  

Stars are reflected in the snow. 

They and trees in white fur coats

Listen to the crunch of snow

Under the sledge,

Crying of guitar

And song about unhappy love.

Three beautiful horses

with sleighbells ringing

carry someone 

On the roads of night....
