She leans on the wooden fence Surrounding the meadow The sun beats down on her Casting forth a dark shadow She slowly scans the horizon Searching for his form She spots him in the shade Seeking shelter from the warm He is the most magnificent Specimen she's ever seen His perfect muscular frame Moves effortlessly over the grass of green A chestnut brown stallion He was a sight to behold Galloping in the meadow He looked so strong and bold She was captivated by his beauty And watched him as he grazed The way his eyes shone Left her simply amazed Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility. --William Wordsworth |

Great twist at the end, at first I thought that you were referring to a man, only to see that you were praising the beauty of a horse. They are magnificent creatures! Well written! Take care, Melissa Honeybee The beauty of poetry gives me wings to fly |

JA - LW may have been using the horse as a metaphor of the man, Or maybe a mixture of both to get you thinking . A very clever poem . I enjoeyed it loads, It was simple in it's complexity . L.of.L. Tom . Don't try, do or do not, there is no try . - Master Yoda - |

Lone Wolf I felt like I was in that meadow looking at the brown stallion...I wish I was in that meadow...my last name "Lee" means one who dwells in the meadow. James |
