Poem: A Random Horse

image of a horse running against a backdrop of green grass with the poem inscribed on it.

Day 41 of 365 days of blogging. A couple weeks ago, we were watching a movie, and in one of the most tense moments, the protagonist drove past a random horse out in a field. I was then challenged to write a poem that included a random horse. Inspiration finally hit last night.

Love, much like inspiration,
develops from unlikely encounters.
A chance coffee shop meeting,
or perhaps a dog park rendezvous.
Much like finding a random horse
frolicking in an empty field
No history or future concerns
beyond the here and now,
living in the present
creating art from that spark
becoming the portrait of happiness


This poem will be included in my forthcoming poetry collection focused on the themes of love and intimacy.
