Mustang! (poem)

Fimbrethil · 09-17-2003, 08:03 PM

Mustang! Free spirited and running wild way back when. Leading his herd across grass filled plains, his head up high he rears to the sky and cries his happiness to the sun. With a leap he's off again ears pricked, tail plumed galloping toward the rising sun.
Mustang. Standing still behind a fence now. No herd to lead, no grass filled plains, only dust and work. His head hangs low, ears not pricked to hear the small, sweet foals that should be there. With tail now dropped he lifts his head and cries one last time to the setting sun.

I wrote this for my english 9 honers class and to just to make it clear you would not eleive the boneheads they put in that class. I had a very hard time trying to get them to see that this didn't have to about a horse, it could be about whatever you wanted it to be old age, a new day beginning and ending. Whatever you interperted(sp?) it as. It was very frustrating so I thought I'd post this hear and see if you guys got what I meant by it could be about whatever. What do you think?
