My Daughter is a Poet!

So, FJ has been writing really nice poems for quite awhile and I am constantly reminding her to keep a portfolio, but this one really stood out to me, so I thought I would share it.

The Horse Fair
by
Felicia Juliano


This morning starts out fine and fare,
This morning begins the annual Horse Fair.
Dozens of horses are paraded by,
The judges that ask when, where, and why.

The goal of the judges is primarily to sell,
To sell only the fit, only the well.
The judges are glad, the crowd seems alive,
I've got 450, who'll give me five?
The buyers are greedy, they all want more,
I've got 350 who'll give me four?
This crowd is quick and eager to buy,
Anything from Shetland Ponies to Golden Kustanaiz.
Going once, going twice, sold!
To Mrs. Gustave La-Vold.
