The Horses of Bonavista

The horses of Bonavista pick their deliberate, delicate way
between sprawled stonepiles, graze between stone shelves.

Scrawny, shaggy, still dazed by the thin spring sunshine,
they ignore the elaborate, massive icebergs passing offshore.

The drifting crags, the lofted dazzle of antique ice, are common:
a great, green, summerspread maple might well spook them.

-Richard Outram

None of the poems posted on here were written by me, I simply choose poems that I like. Please check out my other blog, www.treestellstories.blogspot.com to view my own original poetry, as well as artwork, recipes, random musings and thoughts.
