PEGASUS DON'T FLY AWAY
JUST A MOMENT CAN'T YOU STAY
WHAT IS IT YOU HAVE TO SAY
BEFORE YOU GO ON YOUR WAY
THERE ARE NO WORDS THAT'S O.K.
NICE TO SEE YOU ANYWAY
Author's Notes/Comments:
I WAS TAKING AN ONLINE CLASS AND WE WERE ASKED TO THINK OF AN ANIMAL AND THE FIRST THING THAT POPPED INTO MY HEAD WAS WHITE HORSE AND AS A SECOND THOUGHT I THOUGHT OF UNICORN BUT THEN PEGASUS CAME TO MIND...I DON'T KNOW WHY...PEGASUS WAS STILL ON MY MIND A WEEK OR SO AFTER THE CLASS SO I WROTE THIS POEM...MAYBE CUZ I ONLY MENTIONED WHITE HORSE AND UNICORN AND DID NOT WRITE PEGASUS IN THE CHAT...I FELT BAD LEAVING PEGASUS OUT WHEN IT CAME DOWN TO THE MOST PROMINENT IMAGE IN MY HEAD OF THE THREE...THE ORIGINAL WHITE HORSE REMINDED ME OF THOSE HUGE WHITE HORSES LIKE THE BUDWEISER STALLIONS I THINK THEY ARE CALLED...I SAW THEM A VERY LONG TIME AGO...I GUESS UNICORN DIDN'T SEEM LARGE ENOUGH TO CAPTURE THAT HORSE BUT PEGASUS SEEMED MORE LIKELY TO... I ADDED THE SECOND TO THE LAST LINE AS AN AFTERTHOUGHT SHORTLY AFTER WRITING THIS....THERE ARE NO WORDS THAT'S O.K. SOMETIMES IMAGES ARE MORE POWERFUL THAN WORDS YOU KNOW...
