Poetry: Dust

FROM THE DUST

My pony had a hissy fit;
I never saw it coming.
He reared and bucked, and that was it.
Then he was off and running.

Mid-show, I rose and coughed up dust;
Thank God, I was unhurt.
I knew, to mount again I must,
Not wallow in the dirt.

I held my breath and climbed aboard
My impudent blood-bay.
We cleared the hurdles, soared and scored,
The champions of the day.

    CHORES

    Do you see, up there, by the light,

    it's dust and cobwebs from last summer!

    What could be under my bed

    where my lover

    by Adam Smith

    Dust

    Build from dust

    We are made and back to dust

    We shall remain.

    Our bodies will wither and die

    No words can bring us back

    No
