Beethoven’s Pastoral (2022 Poem 18)

Hooves thud across lush green meadows
Manes and tails flow with each stride

Inhale fresh wet clean earth
On muscled flanks, raindrops glide

Crunch sweet juicy apples
While playful foals dart and hide

Watching, a mare nickers to call them back
Dark beautiful eyes shine in pride

Coats gleam in rays of sunlight
Stallion and mare huff, necks side by side

(Prompt: Write a poem about a moment of joy.)
