A Sweet Lonely Horse Poem by Marilyn Lott
A Sweet Lonely Horse
You should have seen him standing
In the midst of a snow-field scene
Shivering slightly as he stood
For the winter was extra mean.
A dilapidated old house
Was down the road a ways
Sad just like the lonely horse
In a cold and snowy haze.
I walked along the fence
And the horse lifted his head
Curious, I know he was
With nothing at all to dread.
I clicked my tongue at him
And he came slowly to the fence
Taking his time in the frigid air
Adding a bit of suspense.
My mittened hand I held out to him
As this handsome guy came close
He nuzzled it with his frosty nose
He needed a friend I suppose.
We spent half an hour or so
It was nice for us both, of course
I'll always remember that chilly day
When I visited a sweet lonely horse!
A sweet lovely poem by Marilyn Lott! Congratulations on Poem of the Day!
Marilyn, I love this! I think it's one of your very best. Well-deserved as poem of the day. Congratulations!
i notice marilyn hasn't posted a poem in ph for nearly eleven years. as to this one, i like how it flows easily and regularly and is rhymed skillfully. snow-field scene, dilapidated house, and mittened hand are all phrases that show facility with language and fit in meter and tone the rest of the poem. lastly, i like the lack of pretense and accessibility of it. -gk
Hello, Glen, thank you so much for your comments. I appreciate them. Yes, Kim Barney was right, I post on a regular basis.
I meant to say that she has posted FIVE poems this month, not just three.
You are mistaken, Glen. Marilyn has posted three poems just this month, including this one, which is her newest and was only posted day before yesterday!
