Most women would appreciate having their face described
before anything else,
so why should a mare be any different?
Her velvet-like maw has been dipped
in obsidian ink
as it remains silent;
clandestinely waiting
to spill all the frantically uttered secrets
that have been whispered into
her apostrophe-like ears,
reminding us all with those
grammatically correct
audio parts that
they have heard
and know all of our deepest
musings.
Moving back down now,
along the dished slope
of her elegantly chiseled face
-you could swear she was sculpted out of granite-
a sea of azure and captivating emerald
coils around you
luring you in like sirens
on the shore.
Those eyes of hers
are as symmetrical
and poetically simple
as an almond
sitting on your
well-worn, oak
dining room table.
She seems to have taken
the standard of femininity
to a whole new level....
Her eye lashes are
four times longer than
any super-model's on the runway,
and yet she basks in her
luck; all the while oblivious
to her good fortune.
You see,
she does not flaunt
her grace like
all the proper and prim
women strutting their stilletoed
boots down the East side.
No,
her elegance lies within
the sleek curve extending
from the end of her withers to
the top of her rump like
one perfectly singular wave
in the midst of an otherwise
calm ocean,
in the champagne flutes
that are her slender legs -
more muscled than a marathoner
and more effective than a waif in VOGUE.
Their starved -
or nauseatingly thin frames,
if we want to be even more
politically correct-
skeleton-like bodies
could never hold
1,300 pounds of sheer muscle
like hers,
now could they?
Each muscle ripples and coils
like an agitated spring as
she catapults herself over
wooden trucks, boats,
miniature houses
-oh yeah!-
and logs
that are in her path.
Her mahogany pelt
is dappled and lustrous
as a smooth sheen is evident
beneath her rope-like tresses
after a not so lazy Sunday afternoon.
Most would claim she is merely a horse,
an emotionless and rather unintelligent
beast.
Nothing more
Nothing less...
But I beg to differ.
