Mare of Content

Grazing on the hearty lawn, Peacefully; even placidly.
Coming closer to the earth, with each mouthful.

Leaves gathered on the grass,
implying the nearing of fall.

Having few cares,
she munched along, blissfully.

Standing ominously near a fence,
nearing a tree, she fooled the onlooker

One would think
this steed was free.

Perhaps she was more free, 
than you or I.

Tugging, relentlessly on each blade of grass,
she was a mare of content!
