Delight

in the magic

of the bright, starry night;

musical hooves beat the Earth quick

I squeal

~~~

I squeal

with the sound;

my beating heart you steal

with hoofbeats on the moonlit ground

hallowed

~~~

hallowed

is this feeling;

passion’s pure light exposed;

in your shadow, I am reeling

fearless

~~~

fearless

regard, approach

and shake your flowing locks

as you dance close enough to touch

softly

~~~

softly

your coat brushes

my hand as you stride by;

continue on your peaceful quest -

freedom!

~~~

Practicing a different poetic style, brought to my attention by fellow Vocal creator – Mike Singleton. Here’s his poem, including links to this poetic form: Crown Cinquain.

Thanks for reading!
