Equine Writes

Back in days of yore

–there was

a centaur waging war

–because

he’d fallen for a flighty miss,

an equine known as Pegasus,

and way back when

–as story goes

was set against

–these horsey beaus

the reason being that the beasts,

had plows to sow

not vows for priests,

inflamed, the centaur sought

–redress

for equal rights

—no more

or less–

loading bow, and loosing arrow

felling those whose minds were narrow

and though the price

he paid

–was high

in end he wed his

–soaring bride

atop Olympus mount—

“I do’s”

were neighed and nickered,

swapping shoes

Yes story is

–No•tori•ous–

both dreadful

and

–so glorious

the resolution clear, of course,

the right to love–

half man & horse.
