Two Poems from our Narrative Poetry Collection

 
 
EQUESTRIAN FIASCO
   
Author: Leigh Richards
   
Poem:
EQUESTRIAN FIASCO
   
  Serenity lies in these woods.
Placidly, our steeds take us through the hilly brush.
All, that is, except for one:
Doc,
The “moody” one.
He is old, cranky,
And just the slightest bit resentful of
Mankind.
We start down a steep slope,
one
after
another.
But not Doc.
Doc likes to gallop
down mountainsides
in northern Georgia with
a novice rider on his saddle.
Suddenly it’s Johnny versus the Devil
for hell hath no fury like a stupid, stubborn horse.
And so begins a struggle betwixt man and beast!
One is vying to break free of
the bonds of domesticity,
the other to stay alive!
Until finally,
a crash.
Horse and rider separate.
And to me, the rider, there is but a blur;
Sky ground boulder hoof sky ground boulder tree stump sky,
And then black.
It is over.
And I shall never ride again.

A GYPSY LOVE SONG
   
Author: Wesley Storer
   
Poem: A GYPSY LOVE SONG
   

In the land of phantom shrines
A mossy portal sunbeams find
Within that dark and dismal den
A suspended ceiling gem
Transcends the golden beams
Where her golden tomb is seen
In crimson tinted gleams
The crown of the gypsy jewels
Who died in dismal youth
The blackberry stars in the sky
Desired the fire in her eyes
Heaven a rhinestone bead
Dancing upon her sleeve
So lost in love together
Their whirlings became as one
And though hidden in the mire
That gave the rose its fire
Sheathed and seeped in crimson sheen
Where the trees grow gold from green
And the mellow golden berries
Reeked their tender tangy wine
Like her morning light as sweet
As a lover's kiss upon your cheek
