Farewell from T-dog copyrighted June15,2007

I'm in heaven, now,
Free of pain;
Free of infirmities,
That come with age.

Take comfort in
The love we shared.
And know that
The last years
Have been filled
With love that
I'm for ever
greatful for.

How do i say
goodbye;

our time together
was far too short.

that you brought.
You'll always be

I AM FAMOUS NOW

I was born today.
My daddy is very FAMOUS. I have lots of half brothers and sisters.
My Mother is very FAMOUS.Since she got FAMOUS, she has only had foals.
No more loving hands. No more daily grooming...just foals.
She is always sad when they leave her.
I left home today.
I didn't want to go so I hid behind my mama.
I didn't like you.
But,one day,they said, I would be FAMOUS,too.
I wonder, is FAMOUS the same as fun and good times ?
So, you picked me up and hauled me away
even though you were concerned that it too an hour to catch me.
I don't think you like me.
My new home is far away.
I am scared and afraid.
But my heart says BE BRAVE.

My ancestors were.

Did they go to good homes like mine ?
I'm hungry because I can't eat too much, it will be bad for my bones.
I can't play with the other horses because I might get hurt.
I just wander around in my small dirt paddock,and pretend,
I'm in a big green field with butterflies and robins and frogs.
I can't understand why they hate me !
I am quiet but the man hits and says loud things.
The lady doesn't feed me good things like I had with my mother.
She just throws dry,dusty hay on the ground, then she goes away
before I can get too close for touching and petting.
Sometimes my food smells bad but I eat it anyway.

Today I had a baby.
He is so wonderful and warm.
Am I FAMOUS now ???
I wish I could play with him but I'm so tired.
I am so young so it is hard to be a good mother.
I am so hungry !
I wish someone would throw me some food.
I am also very thirsty.
He got cold during the night and we had no shelter.
I couldn't make him warm again.
We are very weak.
Maybe if I whinny someone will notice us and give us food and water.

Today they took us away
to a place with many other horses.
There were lots of people and loud noise.
Someone grabbed my foal.He was so scared.
That was the last time I saw him.
Is my baby FAMOUS now ?
I hope so because I miss him.
He is gone.

I was put in a trailer with many others in it.
It is crowded and smells of urine, fear and sickness.
Why am I here ?
I was beautiful like my ancestors.
Now I am hungry,dirty,in pain and unwanted.
Maybe the worst is unwanted.
No one came, though I tried to be good.
No one spoke to me in gentle tones and stroke my soft neck.
I am in a small pen with many horses.
I am SCARED an ALONE.

Today someone came.
They chased us from our pen and into a room.
One by one were herded into a chute.
I hear screams of agony,sounds of trashing,and then silence...
Someone came and put me in the chute.
Someone reached in and patted my nose.
I felt tired and laid my head over the last one who cared.
I am ready for what will come next.
Today someone cared...

I AM FAMOUS NOW !

Our Editor at Large is loosing her battle with a stomach ailment and my heart is breaking to million un fixable shards... right now I have no heart to write my poetry.... I hope you can understand and please feel free to read what is there ...... Sincerely BARB WALKER

annonymous poet's poem

I loved this poem it was forwarded to me by a friend I want ed to share it with every one. copyrighted 2007 annonymous

I can not promise she will stay,

Since all from earth return.

But there are lessons taught on earth

I want this pup to learn.

I've looked the wide world over

In my search for teachers true.

And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes

With trust, I have selected you.

Now will you give her your total love?

Nor think that labor vane,

Nor hate me when I come

to take her home again?

I know you will give her tenderness

and love will bloom each day

and for the happiness you have known

forever grateful stay.

But should I come and call for her

much sooner then you'd planned

You'll brave the bitter grief that comes

and someday understand.

JUST A REMINDER

i DON'T MIND SHARING MY POETRY WITH YOU GUYS HOWEVER IF YOU WANT SOMETHING OF ANY OF THE WEB BLOGS i HAVE PLEASE ASK AND I WILL EMAIL IT TO YOU , NO PROBLEM .. ALL WORKS AND PICTURES ARE COPYRIGHTED TO THE PERSON WHO'S NAME APPEARS UNDERNEATH OR BESIDE IT. SO PLEASE RESPECT THAT.

Rainy Day June, 4, 2007 Copyrighted B. Walker

Rain rain rain
Pitter patter
Down the lane
Pitter patter
Day is gray
Rain rain rain
Coming down
Wind blows
In the trees
Grey
And dark clouds
Soothing sounds
Fill the air
All around
