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.
