ANNE MORIN'S
FOUND POEMS TO CELEBRATE
10 OF HER HORSE-LOVING DAUGHTER'S BIRTHDAYS!
Nico Wind and Carrie
Anne Morin (Nico Wind's Mother)
Ever wished you had the time and inclination to find a kazillion horse poems by known and
not-yet-discovered poets? More than ten years ago, I began collecting horse poems as a birthday gift for my
daughter, Nico Wind. By 2001, I had collected 41 poems and put them, with graphics I found on the web, in
a notebook. She loved this gift more, she said, than any other I'd given her, so I decided to attempt to find 42 more
poems for 2002; 43 more for 2003; 44 more for 2004; 45 more for 2005; 46 more for 2006,
47 more for 2007, 48 more for 2008, 49 more for 2009, 50 more for 2010, and, finally, 51 more for
2011 - which I have presented to her on each of those birthdays in March. This means, not that we're counting,
that we have a tad more than 500 poems for Nico Wind! Although I've asserted that this will be my last year
of collecting horse poems, admittedly, a grand ride, my friends are encouraging me to publish my finds; maybe I
will. Helpers?
The titles, poets (and lyricists*, for I have included some lyrics to horse songs and
counted them as poetry) and publishing information I've been able to find for each poem are listed here. (Note
that this is still work in progress, as you can plainly see.) If you'd like a copy of a particular poem, send me e-mail,
and I'll send you a copy of the poem. I don't like to break copyright rules, and so only a few of the poems appear
in their entirety here. On the other hand, those titles that are underlined may connect to a link
that has the poem and other information about the poet.
One favorite poem for each of the pages (years) is displayed with an added graphic.
Enjoy!
(Music heard on this homepage is by Nico Wind, singing her song, "Destiny's Spell" and
playing her guitar.)
