It's a little choppy, but I think it matches the poem. So, enjoy. I'm proud of this ![]()
Time is frozen.
The air is blowing through his thick black mane.
I can't remember anything,
but the stringy muscles stretched tight,
poised to fall off the earth.
We're hovering between time and dreaming,
And we love it.
I am part of him,
my legs feeling the stress his do.
The edge of time is ticking, and I grab his mane,
holding tight.
I mustn't let go,
My mind one with his.
His soft muzzle against my hand,
even if it's not there,
I can feel it.
Velvet treads,
Soft against the packed clouds beneath his hooves.
This will end,
and when it does,
we'll be one again.
His hooves,
smooth like a black piano,
patter on the clouds.
1,2,3 1,2,3
Like a slow waltz at a ball.
Some say that the dancers of heaven
could never rival a horses gait.
A gait some dream-like with simplicity
it could keep even the wildest animal at bay,
for even a fairy could not cotend with the dance of the horse.
I'm low on this neck,
my breath tickling his ear with honeysuckled sweetness.
His eyes are bright with mischief,
and you can see the pain behind those mirrors, of our own hearts.
Suffering and loss,
Is what this horse hath inured,
but he has never ceased.
The dance of the Horse.

Hm, I like this. You definitely captured the beauty of a horse, here.
I do have some nitpicks, though.
I'll again agree with the "stringy muscles" comment that TaylaChase made.
This confused me for a second. Are you actually there, sitting on the horse, or are you just remembering sitting on it?
I didn't find anything wrong with this stanza, but I just have to say that this was my absolute favorite of the whole poem.
The grammar in the first line confused me for a minute, and did you mean to put "contend" in the last line?
And also in the very last line, I don't know if you meant to make horse capitalized or not.
But this is a good poem, nitpicks aside. Keep writing!!
Wow, this is really good. I really enjoyed this poem, and seeing as I have a horse as well, I obviously enjoyed your topic. I really love horses and I really think this described just what a horse is about. I think you did an excellent job.
Now, on to my nitpicks.
I really think this is an awesome piece here. I don't usually like it when 'And' begins something, but this is great
Oooh, I really like this part XD
This was a little confusing to me, but again, it could just be me. I just don't really get what you're saying. 'some dream-like' ??
So, despite my incoherent rambling, I thought this was very good. I think it flowed pretty well, and I love some of the imagery you have packed in there! Great job!
