A view from the other side.

Beautiful artwork, A horse's head by Jem Farmer, The Paining Poet.

 

I wonder what you're thinking over there

You really seem to be the oddest sort

I'm very used to folk who stand and stare

But have you brought a polo as you ought?

 

You think that I am here to make you smile

I'll have you know I have a job to do

My rider will be here in just a while

And then I'll have to say goodbye to you

 

I wonder why you only seem to walk

A horse like me is clearly what you need

I'm pleased that we have had this little talk

I'm going off to have another feed

 

I'm rather keen on children and their sweets

My owner doesn't know about the treats 

 

 

Author notes

Have a wonder to look at the painting properly.

Polo mints are known to all Brits, they are are about 1cm across and have a hole in the middle. Horses and people both love them. Apparently they are known as lifesavors across the pond.

In a list

    I love this! It's the only poem in the world ever written about a child loving horse with halitosis. Nice sonnet form too!

    Love,
