That's right peeps – not only does Wheelie like Spirit, but Wheelie also writes poetry (tho I don't have a clue why – poetry should totally die Dx).

Uh, anyways, just cuz I haven't posted anything on this thing in a while (I do have a Dinosaur fic that I might post if I can ever be bothered tho) doesn't mean I've died yet. Unfortunately for you lot XD

Wrote this in about half-an-hour about a week ago. Hopefully it will be better than my LBT one (god I feel like such an idiot [*cringes with embarrassment*])

For those who don't know, 'the merciless one' is the Colonel and the 'two-leggeds' are other random people.

Finally, no, I don't own the characters in this thing. (Who does?)

Now, who's up for a highly stupid/inaccurate poem? =D

Ropes, ropes and more ropes.

They are surrounding me like vultures.

Try as I might, I can't move.

My herd, my devastated mother, are getting ever further away

At least they are safe.

I am free no longer.

I don't know what will happen next

All I know is that I will no longer protect the herd in their times of need

I will no longer lead them to sources of food or safety.

Instead, I am forcibly dragged behind them

The unusual two-legged creatures on the backs of fellow horses

Unwillingly carrying me behind them

The ropes are getting ever tighter.

I try to free myself

But my energy is in vain.

My friend, the Eagle

Can do nothing to help.

His caws of despair echo across the open plains

Not another living animal in sight.

Nothing other than me, the two-leggeds, their equine slaves,

And the ever tighter ropes preventing me from running free.

We continue to trek through raging storms and the burning sun

Until eventually, we reach our final destination.

This place is giving me shivers

Two-leggeds are everywhere

And right in front of me are more horses, exactly like the ones who forced me here

Marching in exact sync with two-leggeds on their backs.

It all gets too much for me

I attempt to get rid of the ropes and run away

When I hear a loud, startling noise.

I see another two-legged

But his aura is very different

One of a tyrant, one who has never known the meaning of mercy

The power of his gaze infuriates me, but I can do nothing.

I am now under the control of the two-leggeds

My freedom striped from me like trees in winter.

But surrendering to them

Is the last thing on my mind.

I will never be broken.

They can try all they want

But the one who tries to trim me

The ones who are flown off my back like over-sized flies

Will not break me.

The merciless one can sense my determination

And ties me to a post.

I hear him say,

"No food or water for three days,"

And in that time, I wonder about my herd.

And another two-legged, also tied to a post.

I don't know what to think of this boy,

But I will soon find out his truth.

The sun sets and rises three times

And I'm finally fed and watered.

But no sooner am I refuelled

I am back doing the same thing as I did days earlier.

This time, however, it is with the merciless one.

He is a heaver fly than the others

And the lack of food and water take their toll.

I am loosing the battle.

Momentarily, I give in to his torture

And like the other horses, follow his command.

But the ever-present determination within me

Boils up again.

I can't give up, not now, not ever.

I snap at a moment the merciless one least expects

The lack of warning is his weakness

A weakness I fully exploit

For a few seconds after another round of trying to throw him off me

I somehow look into his eyes.

The power of his gaze fills me with anger

And he ends up flying towards the stables.

My decision almost kills me

For his unforgiving rage

Makes him draw a weapon.

The only thing that saves me is the boy that his men captured.

I'm surprised, but we both take the opportunity to escape

And I free the other horses while I'm doing so.

Even if I am no longer free

Because of yet more ropes

The power of his gaze is finally behind me

For now.

Wow – long poem, isn't it? =P

Well, I doubt that this will win an award anytime soon, especially considering that I left out, like, everything else. But like I said, I wrote this in like, less than half an hour, so I'm bound to have got SOMETHING wrong :/

If you have any criticisms with my writing, PLEASE MAKE THEM CONSTRUCTIVE!!
