A Two Headed Horse

 

 

I’m no poet laureate, but I enjoy writing poetry and every once in a while a photograph inspires me. This one was too good to pass up!

 

 

 

A two-headed horse

I spied

It looked that way to me

Four eyes

Four ears

Four nostrils

Could it be

Yes

I’m certain

 I’m right

My senses are keen

Especially my sight

But what appears

And what I’ve seen

Changes

Takes flight

Can it be

I’ve made a mistake

A blunder in observation

An inkling gone awry

What other first impressions

Have I interpreted

Cock-eyed
