This was written 30 years ago (uh-oh giving away my age) when I first began to write. From the archives of childhood....

As I sat beside the window pane
looking at the falling rain,
it suddenly appeared to me
a crystal-clear, glass pony.

The pony looked then
started towards me,
the little glass pony
that I did see.

It's beautiful shape,
it's finely shaped ears,
the shining eyes
that held no fears.

I ran downstairs,
stumbled outside,
maybe, just maybe
it won't run and hide.

When I got outside
it was as I had feared,
the glass pony was gone,
completely disappeared.

It was the day my imagination
ran away with me
and I saw what I imagined,
a little, glass pony.

Wow! I really liked that

I like when poems rhyme. I don't know why, but it makes me understand them better.

I'll injoy reading more of your work.

Take care.

Wow, Child, you wrote this when you first started writing? I wish I could write like this now.

p.s. I read "The Killing Love." That was incredible too. I really like the way you write.

Now this is just amazing! Like how in one of my poems I saw the shadow of a dragon, and I could touch him...only your pony seems so much more real. Thanks for posting this, child!
