Spirit

This is a poem I wrote back in high school about the spirit of a horse. Enjoy!

The spirit of a horse is never to be broken
They hold a magnificent beauty
That makes them who they are
And will forever be

Their hooves represent freedom
Freedom to run
And freedom to live

Their eyes are like two crystal balls
Dominated by wisdom and power
And their mane and tail are like flames
Flapping fiercely in the wind

The spirit of a horse is beautiful and shall never be broken
For if it is, you're not only taking away their beauty
But their will to live

Obviously, I love horses. Haha. :)

Yes, your love of horses comes through quite well in this piece. It is wonderful that you show such a deep degree of care and respect to such a majestic creature. I think some would say that the spirit of a horse must be broken in order to ride a horse. You show us a different take on that idea. I think the description you provide here fits horses like the wild mustangs of the West or the Poneys of pony of chincoteague Island. They have their spirit and they maintain their way of life.

I enjoy your horse poems :-)

you really do LOVE horses :) the first thing that came to my mind was the movie "SPIRIT".
And their mane and tail are like flames
Flapping fiercely in the wind

I love the movie Spirit! It was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid. I've always wished they would've made a Spirit 2, haha.
Thanks for your review! :)
