[hometext] => I work at Riding for the Disabled in Australia and we have one horse, Lightning who is a true blue Aussie. A real worker. Lightning is old but does his job, teaching kids and adults alike without much complaint. Thanks ol' boy.
[bodytext] => His looks won't win him money
And his name is not in print, He won't run past a quarterpole, No green track will he sprint. His pirouettes are wonky And he can't jump all that high, He's not the best eventer And cutting- well, don't try! He's not in any stud book, A plain old nag is he, His name is only one word long But that doesn't bother me. For Lightning's quite the good ol' sort, The type that serves us well, He's just a wee bit grumpy, But the loyallist of hell. His name is unexplainable, He can't run all that quick, His curly coat's not silky smooth, And not at all too slick. He's what we call an opposite, And opposite's attract. For many smiles he brings to kids, Our grumpy, good, ol' chap. He knows he's got a job to do And happiness he'll bring To children who're incapable Of doing many things. So in no show ring will you find him, In no paper will he be. But come to RDA And this champion you'll see.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
