poetry challenge



The words:
Horse fly clouds water sunset thunder earth breath

When I walk I step like a horse
Mane and tail fly as I kick and stomp
Eyes to the clouds, a nose full of wind
Carrying scents of water and weather's secrets
Sunset paints the clouds in watercolors
And thunder paces me through the sky
But I step on the earth, tossing my head
Watching my breath mist in the air

Notes: The poetry challenge is a long-standing tradition of AFD. Somebody will post a set of words, and the challenge is to write a poem using all of the words. It's considered proper form to use the words in the order they were originally posted in, but not nesseccary. I miss the poetry challenges...
