waiting for dawn

Postby aBisto » Wed Aug 17, 2011 8:05 am

I had this book of poems when I was small... I'll find the poem I was thinking of.

Blind Horse by Norman MacCaig

He snuffles towards
pouches of water in the grass
and doesn't drink
when he finds them.

He twitches listlessly
at sappy grass stems and stands
stone still, his hanging head
caricatured with a scribble
of green whiskers.

Sometimes that head swings high,
ears cock - and he stares
down a long sound,
he stares and whinnies
for what never comes.

His eyes never close,
not in the heat of the day
when his leather lip droops and
he wears blinkers of flies.

At any time of the night
you hear him in his dark field
stamp the ground, stamp
the world down, waiting impatiently
for the light to break

Close your eyes
I know what you see

The darkness is high
And you're in ten feet deep
But you have faced
More terrible monsters
Than sleep
Know that I will be here
To help you to dream

Great poem and stunning, yet fairly simple drawing! Great job :D I could never draw something like that

ATTENTION: I am trying to get rid of all my trade pets so please take a look at them. I will accept almost any trade offer and anything that's not a rare is free!
