The Runaway Horse

Sure, you still can tame any of the horses, but you cannot tame their spirits.

 

Too Proud To Take The Stand

Broke Right Through The Gate

Into The Wide Open Green Land

Out In The Search For The Mate

 

Cowboys Ran Out To Get That Horse

All Prepared To Catch Him With Noose

They Needed Him For The Best Sport

Couldn't Afford For The Prize To Lose

 

The Wild Horse Just Had Spotted

His Mate On The Other Side Of Farm

Jumped Over The Piles Of Rottens

Toward His Mate Nearby The Barn

 

No One Couldn't Believe What They Saw

There's A Value Of Love In That Rodeo

Without The Harsh Taste Of The Raw

For That, He Is Now As Known As Romeo

 

Author's Note

I know, it's a bit too short and fast and the grammars are out of order, so don't mind me.

Aww... this is sweet! You know what's really cool about this? It sounds like an old experienced cowboy is telling this story... as if your poem was a legend! It sounds a bit like a song too! The rhyming is kind of different from your normal couplet style, but it's still absolutely fabulous!

I am totally in love with this storyline of yours! The way you ended it was perfect. :) Outstanding work!

Ironically Yours, Blade and Blood

I love this, it brought a huge smile to my face.
I grew up on a small farm/ranch. Though we primarily dealt with birds (pigeons, doves, ring neck pheasants, emus/rheas/ostriches, chuckar, golden pheasants heck just pheasants in general) we did have cows, goats and of course horses. I grew up around appaloosas and morgans. Just beautiful. I'd go riding out in the desert for hours on end, it made me completely happy. ~grin~ Nothing but miles and miles of land because we were next to BLM property, no development.

Nevada is also well known for having mustangs. Such beauty, such freedom! Watching the old stallions control their herds and all the new colts! Stunning! This brought back so many memories for me. Too short, too fast, grammar... whatever. I loved this. You reminded me of my home and why being a native Nevadan means so much to me. SO thank you!

It has a good story going for it and captures the wild sprit of the horse. Most of us would like to think we have a bit of that spirt in us at some time or other.
