A poem about something I love? The first thing that popped into my mind was horseback riding. Naturally. So here is a little poem about horseback riding =]
Horse and Rider
flying through the air
as though they are suspended.
The beat of experienced hooves
powers them along.
Rider, young and bold,
confident but scared.
Horse, ancient beauty,
calm and collected like no other.
Horse and Rider
together they blend into one.
With great force
the horse springs
and travels far across
an endless sky.
I have to hand write my poetry before I write in on a computer, I don't know why, but I do. Anyway when I was done writing I started looking through my journal and found a poem that would have been perfect for my spoke word poem we had to present in front of the class today. Damn, why couldn't I have found that earlier!? Well here it is..
What is a horse?
A horse is beauty.
Whose grace us interrupted by a simple blink
With dainty eyes and listening ears
What is a horse?
A horse is strong.
A tree in a storm that refuses to fall
A weathered rock that sticks around
What is a horse?
A horse is poetry in motion.
Dancing across the ring
Like a breeze across the ocean
What is a horse?
A horse is a partner.
Whom we trust with our lives
Every time we borrow their freedom
What is a horse?
A horse is a gift.
That God created to fly without wings
And carry prayers upon its back
So you ask me
What is a horse?
And I tell you
A horse - is perfection.
