Say Hello
A poem by GhostWriter17
****
Morning wonder!
Bucket of cool liquid
Ask for a drink.
Water quenches my
throat, very cracked and brittle.
Serene moisture.
Take off!
Cold air blows with the flinging
of fallen brown leaves.
Marvellous!
Droplets from my swelling pores
drenching dry fur.
Race forward!
Grand speed so unmatched!
I am greatness!
Air thins.
Climbing shiver grabs me, runs
down my spine.
Flip back.
Ecstasy and rushing emotion.
Pleasure mine alone.
Flying downward.
Blood, chilling speed and tears
enhance this feeling.
Furious light, sparkle!
Pulses of bliss, energy roars
sonic speed approaches.
There! A blur! Silence!
The world stretches under pressure.
Compressing, expands at once.
Sound!
Gasp! Explosion, thundering waves!
I rocket to earth.
I snap away.
Barely miss dust on my hooves.
Warm breaths again.
Lungs expand, shaking
I land, aching on soft ground.
Relief, muscles relax.
Heavy eyes of mine.
Pounding head, parched tongue, soothing.
A shadow above.
Great performance!
Cider. Frothy against my lips.
Swallow hard, grateful.
Say hello. Say thanks.
She sighs, warm nuzzling against me.
Massages pained joints.
Friends, always true, loyal.
Never is it awkward to say
I love you.
