    Poem Challenge Winners!!

    in HERD CHAT

    Okay, it took a whole lot of thinking and comparing, but I have the winners for my poem challenge!! I will be giving 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place awards. Without further ado, the winners!!!


    THIRD PLACE: This was really hard between Cass and Dragon, but I finally chose CassTucker1!! The straightforward language that was used was awesome!! Congratulations!! Here's her poem:


    Every one-hundred years A shimmering star arises For it is full of surprises A special mare is chosen And that special mare, on one special night, bores a black foal, full of incredible light Once a year old This black foal is overtaken By that shimmering star, and his destiny is shown. Silver, or gold..


    SECOND PLACE: Is jgrace421!! This poem was really impressive as well!


    Shadow Horse (or pegasus) by Jessica W.

    A majestic black stallion gallops through the mist

    He's a shadow to the dawn

    As he thunders across the open field

    He rears and displays his splendor


    His nostrils flared, eyes open wide

    He is ready for a fight

    Glistening black mane billowing in an arc

    Drapes around his shoulders


    Searching for a hidden enemy

    He circles waiting to be charged

    Seeing no present enemy

    He resumes his morning frolic


    But when an enemy does appear

    No doubt, he will be ready


    And finally, first place goes to . . . ECHOMOON!!!


    The Stallion in the Darkness

    By Emily R.


    In the dead of the night

    While all the others were sleeping

    The feeling of dread clung to the air

    Like the decaying carcass that bear the wolves a feasting


    No moon, no stars shining in the dark pasture above

    The ebony sky helped the black steed camouflage into the night

    For no one saw the Guardian coming

    If they did, they would bestow upon the sight


    His flowing mane rippling in the air

    His golden eyes and white star the only thing visible in the dark

    His compassionate glare over the herd

    His galloping gait a work of art


    But once the sun split the night in two

    The stallion could hold it back no longer

    He reared and he brayed, his voice carrying far across the land

    He spread his wings of ebony and took flight, leaving the herd down below in wonder
