Ode to Horses

horses

Running as fast as the wind,

Manes whipping,

Back and forth.

Sleek,

Beautiful colors,

Shining in the sun,

Chestnut,

Chocolate and,

Golden brown.

Their massive muscles,

Always moving.

Racing across racetracks,

Riders on their backs,

Grasping the reins,

In fear of falling,

Down,

     Down,

Down,

To the ground.

Waiting patiently for a burst of speed,

And then they’re off!!

Almost flying,

Across the air,

As they run forever,

Constantly in motion.
