I just found this lovely poem about a man kissing his horse and connecting to his horse’s wonderful spirit. It is good to take the time to find and read a poem from time to time in our too busy lives. It gives us the sweet touch of connecting to a creative person and feeling part of what they felt on a subject that they felt passionate enough to write a poem about it.

Sometimes being business owners we feel that we don’t have the time to read for just enjoyment, that our reading has to be on business subjects only. But studies have shown that people that make time in their busy schedules for breaks of fun and enjoyment actually work better and get more done than people that just work, work, work and never take a break.

So go read the horse poem, read it slowly and with care and feel and see it in your mind. The simple act of reading poetry can stimulate your mind to think better, more creative thoughts and that can led you to a better day. Think of poems as tasty mind vitamins. Want to super charge your brain today? Then take the time to write your own poem.

Horse Poem: Kissing a Horse by Robert Wrigley

“He who draws noble delights from sentiments of poetry is a true poet, though he has never written a line in all his life.” ~ George Sand, 1851

“Poetry should… should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance.” ~ John Keats
