There stood three geldings strong
Side by side
Near the fence—
We paused our hike
In admiration
And they returned our gaze
From the horizontal bars
Of metal pipe fence
Hung neat rows of
Miniature icicles—
A delicate
Crystal valance

ReplyDeleteHow lovely. Strength and peace combined.
ReplyDeleteYou've woven a picture with words. Not only can I see these three geldings strong, I can feel their moist breath, hear their nickers and smell that wonderful horsey smell. Well done!
