"whinny" poems
Visiting a friend on his Quarter Horse farm, the day sunny and warm. We walked out to his brood mare pasture, the ladies were running, awaiting and sunning, anticipation in the air and their nervous behavior. Noble his name, consistency his game, a reliable aging stallion, sire to many fine sons and daughters, years of proven pairings, came halter led and prancing. He had their scent and his spirit awakened, the three ladies believed to be in season began to snigger and whinny, their excitement growing as the stallion entered their grassy domain, the dance was about to commence. The handler led the big fella' forward, both sides began their quizzical inspections. one young filly more aggressively willing than the others. Noble excitedly returned her heightened interest. Within a few minutes Noble began to rear up, he knew his job, his august appendage extended, trying several times to mount his mate intended, adrenaline pumping his back legs began to shake, on his fourth failed attempt the eager proven suitor fell to the ground, rolled over, paused for a moment and struggled to stand on unsteady legs. Appearing even somewhat embarrassed. The mare moved aside, kicked her hind legs in the stallion's direction, whinnied loudly and ran away. Rejected the old stallion stood looking perplexed, failure was something unknown to him. His spirit was willing but his aging body was weak. The old stud slowly returned to the barn, his head hung low, no longer prancing. For every time and being there is a season, aging is part of the cycle, like this stallion, we all reach this moment of understanding. Sometimes gracefully, most times with stunned disbelief. From Noble to nothing in one afternoon.

like a good poet, I whine and whinny: the muses are unreliable, get too much paid vacation, unlimited unpaid, and pretend their cells are out of range, even when they are in bed with you and you’re near desperate to cop a feel of inspiration my problem is a variation on the theme. Everyday I jot down too many possibilities, a handful of words added to the list of pound bound childless titles, sad faced orphans, dogs and cats, squeaking “pick me, pick me,” our reply a casual “you on the list” rather than admit they are titled, but bodiless until cupid smashes a cupcake in my face and the bell rings there they stand - at a friendless crossroads - direction home, path unknown, awaiting a poet tour guide to complete them if this sounds a bit like a bad achy breaky country song, then you and I, on the same side of where I could be headed cause at the friendless crossroads, always unsure, left foot first?  that first line, first step, could be a false messiah, or a free-at-last, a free-at-last emancipation but there are no sidelines in a forest there no sidelines in a poet’s mind; there are the minefields of mindfulness that can explore explode and explain why it is tempting to believe that every gifted one deserves a break today but you cannot be broken or break off from the community “Hillel said: Do not separate yourself from the community; and do not trust in yourself until the day of your death. Do not judge your fellow until you are in his place. Do not say something that cannot be understood but will be understood in the end. Say not: When I have time I will study because you may never have the time” my friend, substitute writing poetry for study, for study is for us the analysis of everything, that is, everything we say, see and know the need to communicate so those who abide in the life of good words will not suffer an abdication (yours) do not think there are friendless crossroads, there are only crossroads that the eye cannot yet see a fellow sojourner coming toward him, bearing an oversized load of the inside insight of responsibility that demands sharing that is why we call our meetings at a crossroads, a cross

When shall we learn, what should be clear as day, We cannot choose what we are free to love? Although the mouse we banished yesterday Is an enraged rhinoceros today, Our value is more threatened than we know: Shabby objections to our present day Go snooping round its outskirts; night and day Faces, orations, battles, bait our will As questionable forms and noises will; Whole phyla of resentments every day Give status to the wild men of the world Who rule the absent-minded and this world. We are created from and with the world To suffer with and from it day by day: Whether we meet in a majestic world Of solid measurements or a dream world Of swans and gold, we are required to love All homeless objects that require a world. Our claim to own our bodies and our world Is our catastrophe. What can we know But panic and caprice until we know Our dreadful appetite demands a world Whose order, origin, and purpose will Be fluent satisfaction of our will? Drift, Autumn, drift; fall, colours, where you will: Bald melancholia minces through the world. Regret, cold oceans, the lymphatic will Caught in reflection on the right to will: While violent dogs excite their dying day To bacchic fury; snarl, though, as they will, Their teeth are not a triumph for the will But utter hesitation. What we love Ourselves for is our power not to love, To shrink to nothing or explode at will, To ruin and remember that we know What ruins and hyaenas cannot know. If in this dark now I less often know That spiral staircase where the haunted will Hunts for its stolen luggage, who should know Better than you, beloved, how I know What gives security to any world. Or in whose mirror I begin to know The chaos of the heart as merchants know Their coins and cities, genius its own day? For through our lively traffic all the day, In my own person I am forced to know How much must be forgotten out of love, How much must be forgiven, even love. Dear flesh, dear mind, dear spirit, O dear love, In the depths of myself blind monsters know Your presence and are angry, dreading Love That asks its image for more than love; The hot rampageous horses of my will, Catching the scent of Heaven, whinny: Love Gives no excuse to evil done for love, Neither in you, nor me, nor armies, nor the world Of words and wheels, nor any other world. Dear fellow-creature, praise our God of Love That we are so admonished, that no day Of conscious trial be a wasted day. Or else we make a scarecrow of the day, Loose ends and jumble of our common world, And stuff and nonsense of our own free will; Or else our changing flesh may never know There must be sorrow if there can be love.

I am sitting on the surface of the stone faced moon looking in through the gray above the green hanging over the black shingle roof of the room where I am sitting. I can't see me resting here. The streets of my youth are out my window through a hole in the trees in the still autumn night. I must rise to the call of the bread truck man, to the whinny of the rag picker's horse, to the distant clanking of a slow freight train. So far away on the stone faced moon how long my ears have thirsted to drink the sounds they cannot drink again, to sponge the voices from the streets of my youth and squeeze them back a drop at a time. Sitting on the surface of the stone faced moon I can see the globe rolling cars upon it. Outside my window into autumn is the incessant din of transportation, the percussion of outbound movement toward the stone faced moon where I sit.

Stone Faced Moon
Back of my back, they talk of me, Gabble and honk and hiss; Let them batten, and let them be-- Me, I can sing them this: "Better to shiver beneath the stars, Head on a faithless breast, Than peer at the night through rusted bars, And share an irksome rest. "Better to see the dawn come up, Along of a trifling one, Than set a steady man's cloth and cup And pray the day be done. "Better be left by twenty dears Than lie in a loveless bed; Better a loaf that's wet with tears Than cold, unsalted bread." Back of my back, they wag their chins, Whinny and bleat and sigh; But better a heart a-bloom with sins Than hearts gone yellow and dry!

The Whistling Girl
My List of inspirations: The sun that shines on me it rises and sets creating inspiring colors of the unknown. The flowers that grow, bloom, share joy, and sadly die away. The Birds that sing, and fly in the wide open sky making people want to sit and enjoy the outsides. Music that surrounds me with joy beyond belief and picks me up whenever I pick up my guitar. Stories and Books written so descriptively the variety is never ending. Horses and when they graze such a calming soft sound and when Horses whinny when they see you and push up against you as if to say,"Oh, it's nice to see you again" People and their strange ways, looks, and personalities, no one is exactly the same an inspiration for sure. Family and Friends and their love for you standing next to you even if the world isn't. The ocean with it's waves and foreign creatures so much more than land and so much more unique. Dolphins and their kind eyes and playful ways twirling out of the water making their exotic language. Mantarays and Sting rays and the graceful flow in the other ocean creatures. Beaches and the sand so smooth getting everywhere it's in your hair, food, and all over your towel. Summer even though it is short it is beautiful and lively. Warm air and soft breeze. Leaves, fall and summer they are still beautiful with their colors. Learning, history has our success and our mistakes and people who are important. Art, beauty in the eye of the beholder. The artist has the paintbrush the creativeness creates strokes. Wisdom, it is whatever you believe it to be. Wisdom comes in many shapes, sizes, and ages. Peace, one thing the world has not held on to...yet. Love, when there is love in the air all is well. Love is expressed in many different ways. Imagination, Dreams, and Creativeness a land that is yet to be discovered more. Teachers, they something more than just school work. They teach you how to survive life. Poets on this site, I have learned so much from all of you. Smiling and all who dare to share this joy! The most contagious thing known to humans! This List will be ongoing and I will write something more when I find more inspirations.

There he sat All dark unsaddled Brains quite addled From the blow Brigands laughing All about him There to clout him Should he run From his good eye Squinting sneaky Peeking out From swollen brow Primrose Pete Considered options Acquiesce Or fight or flee Counting up The five marauders Such close quarters Peter smiled In a wink The first two fell Hellbound from Pete's shining blade One was cut From prow-to-keel Didn't feel The lightening slash Two was dead but Still a-stagger From Pete's dagger Through the throat Pete then turned His one good eye Upon the three Left standing there "Knock ME from My gentle ride!" He chided them And took a step In a flash The third man died His manhood hung From Peter's blade Number four Jumped up in-close They danced a rosy Final step "One last waltz" Said Primrose Pete And short and sweet The blood ran hot Last of all The Highwaymen The fifth of five The last alive A tall man Taller quite than most With ghostly eyes And hammer hands A man who felt That pain was fun This one-on-one Was just a tryst So they stood there Eying up While trying not To give a tell Of their planned Last brave attack While Pete held back To catch a breath All at once The fight was on That bloodied lawn Would find no peace Both men fought With all their might From Noon til Night On into dark No Moon sang The stars shone mute A suit of cloud Hung o'er the fray Blood and dark With ought a sound Save the pounding Steel on steel Come the Sun There on that field Without yield For Honor's sake Cut for cut Both men held true And on into A second night A third then Into a fourth A fifth of course They battled on It's said that Both men died that day T'was slay for slay Though neither fell He fights on Old Primrose Pete His ghosted feet Still dancing true With his blade Of shadow pure Against a worried ******* dark And it's said On summer nights When the wind Is right and odd One can hear Old Pete's mare Out there braying On the moor And beneath The old hag's whinny If you skinny Up your ear You can catch Old Primrose Pete Sweetly dancing With his sword.

I pick a *** for her, of goblin flowers, where sunbeam ponies she so loved high whinny. My garden yet is filled with merry powers. I pick a *** for her, of goblin flowers. May Jesus hold her, run with her, play with her. Last night I heard my puppy's eyes dying fly. I pick a *** for her, of goblin flowers, where sunbeam ponies she so loved high whinny. may the fat bees strum and wild ponies make love, and baby birds grow big in kind hands of powerful trees may the meadow where she lies pray through all, who need, the pollen of eyes that bring

a blind child's lamentation: the dandelion prayer
Some say That unicorn free fountains May be the product Of an ancient code Hidden in the runes Of our ribs. Sometimes after Being bitten Letters appear On the gnarled Wood bark of tree, Or the plump Roundness of fruit. Speak on The corners Of your skin As your fingers Blink dark ink. Often At midnight Have you felt The horn Grow In the moonlight As you caper? Whinny and canter   At the quarter Past midnight, And find the trails of your alphabets. A map to a place Where your unconscious fountains May run deep Prance in **** truth Much like stars Skinny dipping In dark Familiar ponds.

Unconscious Fountains
in the part of the cool hill's soft thighs trembles the callous shaft of dawn penetrating the ephemeral violence of the stabbing rods of arbor scent damply the night mare goes galloping whinny little sins of star caresses but none are so shy and sly as the eye clasped hollow in the stench of (and also the slender flowers smirk at the blossoms young flesh broken by the light song) Morpheus' guileless laughter as shattered the disheveled clubs swing ransoms of heart lips between the twain of the enchanted leaves there rests a silver bit of girl so blisteringly beautiful blushes all the world for holding this trembling aperture of onyx plait holding femininity so electric is the artifice of her glimmering chastity, swore the sun it would never shine on any other thing so savagely its shivering skin of golden pleasure as this her (but just so the moon loved her too as passionate as any other lover ever imagined or material. spitting delicate strands of shimmer upon the golden-brown skein of her shoulders) she woke startled by the amorous dome crinkling on the perfection of her lithe sensual frame. stupidly the ideal birds sang, trying to match the elegance of her narrow waist; but failed hideously drowning the silence in virulent soundless noise. then brimmed every god to the lip of everything to peer upon this unbearable visage and dither in the perfection of its curves. suddenly the Rose blistered from the soil and came wetly a residue of crimson from its supple petals mounting the vision of her absolute eyes. splaying the gentle hips of sight to receive the splendor of its thorned stem into her hand and ***** the silk of her hands slowly releasing a jewel of life all this witnessed by the cloistered huddles of gossamer children. hideously perfect men wantonly begging for the grace of her sensual pond. beckon they, to them, her but she refuseth and make for the realm of Hades. quietly, in death, waiting for some heat to unfreeze the skin of her blue heart frozen still darkness.

******** Rider
Behold! And see, my friends! ‘Tis me, Your knight of shining might! The hero, the savior, and might I add, The victor of many a fight. But I regret my quota is set. My fate may be too great, All maidens saved, all dragons slain. There is no one left to sate. “So I leave at once, at last relieved! My steed is all I need,” Said I not half an hour before The dire call to heed. He ran about, a gentleman stout. He said, “’Tis what I dread! My cat, I fear, has climbed a tree, A tree just overhead!” With lightning speed, I left my steed. With glee, I slammed the tree. The oak did shake, and the cat did drop. Hard? I disagree. Further forth, I reached Far North, A town so well renown. There, a girl beckoned and said, “That boy there stole my gown!” With hefty sigh, I did reply, And found the thief unsound. He found himself within a cell. ‘Tis why I’m so renowned! And as I rode along the road, I met a widow beset, Beset by hordes of harmless hares. She feared the furry threat. Hesitantly, I helped, you see, And shooed the hares’ adieu. She thanked me so, but I cared not, For tired of this I grew. And on my horse, I heard, of course, A speech to me beseeched. I rushed to the aid of a man who said, “Open this can o’ peaches.” “Egad! “ I yelled, “You’re hopping mad Bar none! Why, everyone!” I shan’t go on! Certainly not! My work is said and done!” A large mob came, cried my name, And prayed I’d come to aid. I did refuse, and while I slept, I saw not the dragon’s raid. I saw the town a crispy brown And shrugged with smile smug. “T’was not a very memorable sight, But its beds were rather snug.” I called my steed of noble breed. “Stew, there’s much to do!” But I heard not a whinny back: The dragon ate him too.

I’m taking a walk, on a starry night, Enjoying the serenity of nature’s marvelous sight… Drenched in the creaminess of the twilight view, All things seem to be reborn, and new… The sky is black, with patches of star white, And the fireflies in the air make it look even more bright… The pond shimmers, in a dark navy blue, The frogs hopping on the water lilies forms an effervescent hue… The soft fresh grass crumples under my feet, And the trees sway lightly, cooling off from the day’s heat…. And a night owl twists its head all the way around, To look at me and greet me with its hooting sound… And the crickets chirp, grasshoppers leap, And my mind goes into thoughts deep… For every thing reminds me of her, And the atmosphere around makes her feel near… My mind is put at mental peace, As I hear the cackle of sleepy geese… And as I hear the fluttering of a bat’s silky wings, My heart beats for her and sings… A green eyed cat stares at me, Her beauty, in those eyes reflected I see… And as silvery glistening fish splash about, I know im in love with her, no doubt… And as I look at my hands, and think of hers, A sleeping squirrel gently stirs… My love for her, passive like the night, So irreproachable, and elegant, it feels so right… And though a lady bug scuttles away, I know she will be there for me, come what may… And I wonder where she is right now, As I walk by a drowsy cow… The sleepy horses whinny their agreement, That she is indeed an angel godsent… And as the cool breeze ruffles my hair, I realize how much for her I care… And everything about this night is perfect, Only because I see her in its every aspect… I would walk endlessly, wishing the night were forever, For then she would never leave my mind, ever… And as the owl flies over my head, towards the moon, Deeper, deeper into her memories I swoon…

THOUGHTS OF HER ON A STARRY NIGHT...
I’m taking a walk, on a starry night, Enjoying the serenity of nature’s marvelous sight… Drenched in the creaminess of the twilight view, All things seem to be reborn, and new… The sky is black, with patches of star white, And the fireflies in the air make it look even more bright… The pond shimmers, in a dark navy blue, The frogs hopping on the water lilies forms an effervescent hue… The soft fresh grass crumples under my feet, And the trees sway lightly, cooling off from the day’s heat…. And a night owl twists its head all the way around, To look at me and greet me with its hooting sound… And the crickets chirp, grasshoppers leap, And my mind goes into thoughts deep… For every thing reminds me of her, And the atmosphere around makes her feel near… My mind is put at mental peace, As I hear the cackle of sleepy geese… And as I hear the fluttering of a bat’s silky wings, My heart beats for her and sings… A green eyed cat stares at me, Her beauty, in those eyes reflected I see… And as silvery glistening fish splash about, I know im in love with her, no doubt… And as I look at my hands, and think of hers, A sleeping squirrel gently stirs… My love for her, passive like the night, So irreproachable, and elegant, it feels so right… And though a lady bug scuttles away, I know she will be there for me, come what may… And I wonder where she is right now, As I walk by a drowsy cow… The sleepy horses whinny their agreement, That she is indeed an angel godsent… And as the cool breeze ruffles my hair, I realize how much for her I care… And everything about this night is perfect, Only because I see her in its every aspect… I would walk endlessly, wishing the night were forever, For then she would never leave my mind, ever… And as the owl flies over my head, towards the moon, Deeper, deeper into her memories I swoon…

The dragon asked me brashly *** are you doing here?" I threw it the evil eye and finished up my beer The goblins in the corner talking in hushed tones doing some ***** deal not using their I-phones The elven waitress is giving me the look I'll talk to her later another number for my book The wizards and witches don't hang around too long they'd rather be at home toking, from their bongs The unicorn is frisky buying Pegasus some drinks she smiles and whinny's sexily giving him a wink It's just a job I do a private type of **** reporting on the play of some guy's wife, or chick I'm a fantasy P.I. the kind you dream about don't question when or why **** let me take you out please? :D

A ****** fantasy, not for you, **** me :D
She can find freedom here. She can be happy here. She wishes to stay forever here. Galloping, cantering, chaotically awry. Flying as one, two beings, seamless lines. She can find freedom here. The sun slips gently from the sky. Her fingers tangled in copper mane. She wishes to stay forever here. A whinny, a nicker, a smile as she cries. She loves what this means to her. She can find freedom here. She talks to him, because his eyes don’t lie. Ears swept forward, and those gentle honey eyes. She wishes to stay forever here. Twelve hundred pounds of unbridled energy. He’s her biggest, closest friend. She can find freedom here.

and she flees [creative writing assignment p.6]
Lowry leanshanks came to town riding a horse that was purple not brown. He'd heard the sheriffs job was going so into the ring his hat was throwing. He might be strange and a little slim, but who can run away from him? His arms are thirteen metres wide, no time to get away and hide! Never had to use his gun, Bullets miss him every one. His purple horse may neigh and whinny, but you can't shoot a man who is so skinny! The jail was soon full of bad men, like Cactus **** and Dust Bowl Ken. The town was safe, the people happy, they all so love the skinny Chappie!

Lowry Leanshanks
On a cold steamy morning, With your velvet touch You muzzle my neck. And I share your breath As you welcome me back. Whilst the coppery gleam Of your shimmering skin Ripples under my hand, I lean against your strength Feeling warm and content. Your gentle eyes Reflect the rays Of the Winter sun On the golden haze. I weave my hand, Through your shiny mane, And my sigh is steep, As you whinny deep.

AT THE STABLES
Au rare afternoon delights, wrestled on a couch, barely concealed, gasping for an instant bond, whinny inner monologue, I chew the green & swallowed it Quest for the bliss, yet, you repeat yourself, comme d'habitude, nerves has conquered, yet, my neurons, turned interrogative, how can I make peace, for the unbalance water scales.

Scale
*Meadowlarks in the canebrake Twilight hints with fuchsia trickery Animated waning Moon , sylvan troubadours in perfect tune September Season of the Witch , Barn Owls cry out in perfect pitch Starlings crowd field barns , Mockingbirds spin Ghostly yarns , brown leaves crumble in the eerie wind , Stallions whinny sending shivers across bare skin Cowbells clang in the pitch black night Coyotes howl from the hillside Tin roofs clap under their own power Wind chimes sparkle and call , hour after hour* ....

The Ghost of Fall ....
I'm spending so much of my time Just idling online Which to some may be fine. But I just want to punch out my chat (Gi' it some o' that) I'm going to save some of my talk For when I go out for a walk. Because I might meet a chick And wouldn't I feel sick If when I looked, she just Twittered, Facebooked. So yes I'm going to save very hard And instead of computing I shall write my words on a card. Then if I should make a pass when I do meet a lass And forget what's being said. I can pull out the card and read those words instead. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzand sleep.

In my dreams..(night mares don't whinny)
I stopped off at the bank to say 'how are you' to the folks who try their hand at the day care of my dollars and the quarters of my pay I pushed back on a tall gray day, the clouds swirl by in the lead gray sky and I fly over the dry sand ox bow that runs and twists in a necklace below next, by a purring Toyota, its light glowing blank at a barn wall looking glass Unclip and the gate still open in hind sight, and I am through onto the grass no paint, no sorrel no grizzled grey hinnie, I walk through the trees tracking the sandy scuff out and up and across the overlook bluff. I hoot n call but never a whinny There's a house there with a good wire fence The trail turns east over the rough brush heath and on and on and across to a fence, worn neatly down to a barbed wire wreath and across more brush with a fresh hoof print til the track grows faint but never a hint. And I stoop where nobody sees me in repose thankful a handkerchief wipes more than noses, So back in a sweaty shirt to the tree line, and there are the horses fresh hoof tracks on the truck where donkey and goat flirt. bowls of grain and sweet feed to make amend, a handful of wafers to lighten the offering And I brush off what the fly spray left me of dead on the back of my old friend And I comb out his handsome mane, and pull out his short gold tail and throw up the heavy brown saddle and think again of my good fortune the pretty leather saddle This time though he stop and consider his options, press on through the scary wind break where turkeys are known to run in conniptions giving the evil eye to the pile of hay netting the field gate that groans in the wind. landlord's engine spinning quietly the lights burning where nobody looks Just a word or two, and we are galloping back, easier to urge when returning to the friendly herd, And off to the west where the house that's for sale is and past the dead mans duck pond, home is where the lunch is, and another perfect holiday.

A Day.
I stopped off at the bank to say 'how are you' to the folks who try their hand at the day care of my dollars and the quarters of my pay I pushed back on a tall gray day, the clouds swirl by in the lead gray sky and I fly over the dry sand ox bow that runs and twists in a necklace below next, by a purring Toyota, its light glowing blank at a barn wall looking glass Unclip and the gate still open in hind sight, and I am through onto the grass no paint, no sorrel no grizzled grey hinnie, I walk through the trees tracking the sandy scuff out and up and across the overlook bluff.

She steps out into the break of day smelling the fragrance of fresh cut hay Songs of the birds fill the morning bright as God’s many wonders are coming to light Smiling at the whinny of a dear old friend knowing the message he is trying to send The cattle are grazing on the dew covered grass and the worries of the night fade away and pass Mkt

Daybreak
I am not easy to get, not easy to forget, adored by so many, hated by plenty, artistic and lively, fake smiling, persuaded by lust, underestimated much, intelligent and cunning, never to welcoming, lonely and frighten, obnoxious and whinny, political and opinionated, sexually stimulated, random in lifes journey, unconcerned with others worries, a liar and a theft, innocently sweet, always making no sense, not easy to convince, undefined, uninhibited, playful and imaginative, hard to love and loves so hard, listens to sad strings of guitar, unreliable and understated, always cold and simply jaded
