It’s not about the animal anymore...

It’s about the ribbons...

the prize

the

E G O s.

What ever happened to
the love of the
Animal?

Whatever happened
to the concept of

NATURE

as it was gifted
to us,
without pretense?


Horse shows...
Dog shows...
Cat shows...
People shows...

EGOS

Yuck.
Give me a mongrel.
Give me a stray non-purebred cat.
Give me a horse that knows what
I REALLY want and need...

Who knows how to get me from here to there

Safely

and hopefully?

have some fun in the going.

You put things so well.  You know, I'm a fan.  I think that's because it's more about what you say, no then again, it's how you say what you say -- anyway, I think you are soooo gifted -- but now do not take that to ego, only to heart!

great poem! i like your style and the things you say! hugs!

turning mirrors upside down won't make dust fall off the ground, hiding wounds won't ease the pain, sleep won't make you whole again...
