The Dark Horse

The Dark Horse
By Paul McCann

Blackbirds, dark horses and the black sheep.

The weirdo, the lone wolf and the creep .

The innocence of those you can’t keep .

An unknown talent marginalised .

Like a poet admired or despised .

Thinking outside the square can be  wise .

The black sheep is often unwanted .

The blackbirds song taken for granted.

Dark horses can be so enchanted .
