aka, The Abject Muse

Serendipity

It’s Quadrille Monday at the dVerse Poets Pub

 

He had a white coat with oval-shaped specklings of black and dark gray.

People thought we should name him “Freckles”, but I thought that was much too common a name for such a serendipitous creature.

Instead, we decided on Domenic Andreas —  Spot for short.

    Freckles also sounds like a good name.

    That’s a wonderful perspective on freckle-ness Susan. This made for engaging reading. A freckled horse… :-)

      Thanks so much, Rob. I’ve always wanted a leopard Appaloosa, like this one…. Maybe someday. :-)

    The gentle irony makes me smile, the horse gets the time enfolding high falootin name instead of Freckles… but still gets called Spot. 😉

    I enjoyed the irony too. Perhaps the name Serendipity would have worked well.
