Read the poem below 'War Gods Horse Song' and (try) to sketch it literally. Thanks. The War God’s Horse Song I am the Turquoise Woman’s son On top of Belted Mountain beautiful horses slim like a weasel My horse has a hoof like a striped agate his fetlock is like fine eagle plume his legs are like quick lightning My horse’s body is like an eagle-feathered arrow My horse has a tail like a trailing black cloud The Holy Wind blows through his mane his mane is made of rainbows My horse’s ears are made of round corn My horse’s eyes are made of stars My horse’s head is made of mixed waters (from the holy waters) (he never knows thirst) My horse’s teeth are made of white shell The long rainbow is in his mouth for a bridle and with it I guide him When my horse neighs different-coloured horses follow When my horse neighs different-coloured sheep follow I am wealthy because of him Before me peaceful Behind me peaceful Under me peaceful Over me peaceful Peaceful voice when he neighs I am everlasting and peaceful I stand for my horse
