Poetry: A mystical horse

by Sid de Knees

The horse in me!

Spare me your rods since my own are content
with their lacking abatement and force,
and in hope that they ease, a declaring lament,
from a man once renowned as, 'r horse.

I have lived as a Stallion, vibrantly free
never yielding to one with a whip,
and I know it is me and I blatantly see
I have not made full stock of this trip!

But amends are for making so I will as Scrooge,
be a man of my word, dancing forth.
Though a mountainous task seeming perfectly huge
I shall once and for all be a north.
