[title] => Hoar Frost And Wild Ponies.

[hometext] => On a walk one morning last week I spotted the wild mountain ponies gathered at the edge of a field. The frost was penetrating and harsh. While there a small piece of ice broke on the lake. This is that morning.
[bodytext] => Hoar frost and wild ponies conspire To drain the moor of all resistance. Flared nostrils and steaming rumps They gather at the fields edge And graze the blistered grass. Through all the silent valley there comes A pop pop popping sound, A sound like a gunshot rebounding off the hills. A piece of the lakes ice puzzle breaks away, The fractured opening inviting the day to enter The dark deep water And the wide yellow stetson of the sun Takes flight on a hundred slivers of broken ice. Ears raised, hind hoofs tilted, the ponies murmur, Their breath etched silver on the advancing day. Hoar frost loosens its grip, slowly, slightly, The landscape sighs and the ponies shift And one by one they edge away into the distant sun. A snorting, steaming procession, They follow their shadows, wizened and wearied By the hoar frost.

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. ©
