Example Poem
Objects of Art (Pendrangle)
I'm fortunate
residing in this time and place
for daily, if I wish
I can watch horses race
across the plain or
stand and graze with calming grace.
They've never pulled
a load nor had to wear a trace.
Ascendancy of man
remarkable, of course
was aided by
domestication of the horse.
The spirit of the
horse is recognized in art
in each and every
age in which he's played apart.
They've pulled our
carriage our cannon and our cart.
They've captured
man's repect, and many young boy's heart.
Ascendancy of man
remarkable, of course
was aided by
domestication of the horse.
In Nevada, they are
allowed now to roam
protected in some
areas once their natural home
where grasses,
junipers, and sage have always grown.
And though they're
dancing free we feel that they're our own.
Ascendancy of man
remarkable, of course
was aided by
domestication of the horse.
The V&T railroad
now crosses their terrain
with stops to watch
their beauty up above the plain.
They're one delight
of many, one sees from the train.
The horses drew me
there, and I' go back again.
Ascendancy of man
remarkable, of course
was aided by
domestication of the horse.
