Ever see a bright blue horse painted with roses by the side of the road? You can if you're in Saratoga Springs, NY; and you can see lots of other painted horses that are part of the town's ongoing trademark public art display. Read about these fabulous ponies and see some photos at blog.amynelsonhahn.info
Horse fancy
Sky inside divine,
a rose pointed at the hip,
wingless fury
windless canter --
a pantomime
celebrated end-to-end
in deep design.
No tail breeze
can ruffle a stamp coat
or furrow an ocean brow;
no anatomical muster
surpasses joint by joint
the artful prowess
of a inspired calliope steed.
