Stallions are splendid speeding spitfires,
Sprinting swiftly round racetracks.
Sinewy, sweating, shivering steeds,
Stripling riders on their backs.
Mustangs are muscular, massive mounts,
Magnificent with a matted mane of hair,
Mobile in marshland or on mountain might
Managing with the minimum that is there.
Alliteration - a series of words having the first same consonant sound.

The Almighty, at peace, put forth
His hands and created horses,
as companions to man and as part
of earth’s beautiful creatures.
I love to look at horses, at their
beautiful streamlined form,
the intelligent look in their eyes or
gaze at their stampeding storm.
Envy fills me to see people who
live in wide open ranches,
who wake up to the sounds of soft
neighing and delightful canters.
Relatives and friends have given
me, mementos of beauty -
mustang, colt, stallion, steed,
filly, mare and pony.
A brooch from Harrods, a horse-
drawn cart from New York,
a fire-breathing
horse lighter and
a horseshoe for good luck.
Brown ones, grey ones, black and white, and cross-stitched,
gold coloured horses with wings,
bronzed, wooden and bleached.
Safely placed in the show-case at
home, for all to behold,
but only when no-one is around
that they are mine to hold.

Antelopes are amiable animals,
Buffaloes, bullish, butting boors,
Cougars creep craftily up crags,
Ducks dip delightfully in ditches.
Exotic eagles espy earthy eelworms,
Fierce falcons feast on fishes,
Goats greedily gobble green grass,
Hares hop happily near hedges.
Iguanas inhabit inhospitable islands,
Jaybirds jabber jauntily,
Kangaroos knee you with knockout kicks
Llamas lug large loads lithely.
Monkeys are munching, muttering mimickers,
Nightingales and nightjars, nocturnal nesters,
Oxen overloaded, overworked owsen
Parrots prettily parody persons.
Quixotic quails quiver quietly,
Robin red-breasts are restful roosters,
Stallions, stunning speeding steeds,
Tawny tigers are terrifying treaders.
Unique unicorns are unavailable now,
Vicious vultures are virtually vile,
Whales wallow in warm waters
Xeruses are xeric squirrels of Africa's wild.
Young yaks yare on mountains yonder
Zany zebras zip past zephyrs.
Animals are beautiful creatures of the earth
And humans be their kind masters.
