Lego Horses - Jow Bates

Each movement smacked of frustration and awkwardness. As his bulky frame clicked across the studded paddock he drew cold glares from passers by. His reply was met of distaste as his blank plastic stare was to be considered a unwelcoming gesture by the new family he had already come to distrust. His stiff synthetic mane was brushed enthusiastically by the young girl and he stifled the desire to move, standing instead, stock still, feet entwined with the ground. His stalwart brethren clicked gracefully as they cantered across the bumpy ground. "Aspire to be like them" he thought, you're from the same pack after all.

With fictile herd together ride,
On studded grass and plastic tide.
With lock unto each step to ground,
Cast built up stride on cantered sound.
Stray turgid mane and blocked recourse,
With each step clicks a Lego Horse.
