Ponies and Other Poems by Cheryl Derby aim to interpret a sense of place through horses, mice, rain, love, death, and the theme of adolescence searching for adulthood.

The magic mirror of poetry reflects all life and love. It seizes a moment and finds a way when other ways may hinder. Poetry is the magic mirror birthing us on, interpreting sorrow that turns to witness leaps to temporary joy, flying into being. Breathing poems.
