Frilly Silly Filly, a poem

Frilly

Silly

Filly

Where it is you’ve been?

Prancing

Dancing

Trancing

‘Cross fields

into the Wind.

Frilly

Silly

filly

What it is, you do

all day

among the clover

the bees

the birds,

and you?

Frilly

Silly

Filly

So beautiful and new

to life in fields

and pastures

to streams

and hills

 and you. 

Frilly

Silly

Filly

How find you, life so far?

Running 

Prancing

Dancing

through

 life upon a farm?

Frilly 

Silly 

Filly

What wish you, on a star?

A friendly hand,

An apple sweet,

a friendly dapple mare

to roll a bucket 

for you to chase,

to nestle beside you

near a pile of hay

when comes the end of day.
