Little Colt

Knobby knees unfold
   Awkward & wobbling to n fro-
      The colt tries to stand,

Gently caressed by
   His dam's soft prodding nose-
       He falls down again,

Instinct pushes him
   He must try and try again-
      Moms knicker assures,

In an effort grand
   He does it! Does it right then-
      Staggering he falls....
And

As the hours pass
   The colt burns across the field-
      Mother at his heels!
