The horse life
The life of a horse is wild and free, Running through meadows, a sight to see, Graceful and strong, with a heart so pure, Their spirit unbroken, their soul so sure. They gallop through fields, with the wind in their mane, Hooves pounding the earth, they feel no pain, Their beauty and power, an amazing sight, A symbol of freedom, a creature of might. Their days are spent grazing under the sun, With friends by their side, they have lots of fun, They prance and play, in a field of green, A world of happiness, like nothing you've seen. But some horses are tamed, to work and to ride, With a saddle and bridle, they learn to abide, They carry their rider with strength and pride, A loyal companion, a horse by their side. The life of a horse is one to behold, Their spirit unbroken, their heart made of gold, A creature of grace, a symbol of power, In the world of horses, they reign like a tower.

5 Poems You'll Fall in Love With
When I was a kid, I loved Dr. Seuss's and Shel Silverstein's poems and loved the playfulness of their words and, invariably, the beautiful life message waiting at the end. For many, children’s poems like Seuss and Silverstein are our first introduction to the world of rhyming couplets and iambic pentameter; we just didn’t know what to call them until high school. And if your teen schooling years were anything like mine, you were introduced to some of the world’s greatest poets, but you were just too damn young and dumb to realize how amazing these verses were. At least I was. I knew I liked the works of Silvia Plath and Shakespeare, but I couldn’t fathom the deeper inner meaning until college, and I had some time under my belt as an adult.
