Poetry
To Tame a Mustang
By owlhoot
21 April 2008
How can I tame a wild mustang?
By riding out the storm of arrogant fury
as the staccato rhythm of hoofbeats bang
across the embroidered cells of my memory?

Or should I try with gentleness and kindness
to bend the impish will of one truly wild
to match my own more solid likeness
and change an arrogant spirit from angry to mild?

I enjoyed this piece owlhoot. You captured the feelings of this poem well in: 
"Or should I try with gentleness and kindness 
to bend the impish will of one truly wild.." 
I think that using "...bend the impish will..." really worked well. Kudos

I really like this. The wild, the fury and the arrogant spirit sounds glorious. Tame it? Can you tame such a beast without marring its beauty? Don't know... I'm not sure if you are talking about a mustang either... Hmmm...
