Four legs galloping like a cheetah

A flowing mane as white as snow

A dapple-gray pattern on its back

Rushing through the snow

Its neighing

echoes in the sky,

dancing with the snowflakes.

The shining sun shimmers in its pitch-black eyes.

Its tail swishes, swatting off the snow on its legs.

Its ears scan in every direction

as its hooves thud on the ground.

As it bolts away in the snow, it snorts a goodbye.
