Ride them to a trot, ride...

Through rubble on the highway sands and residues of Lot.
They came from severed cities...

Reminding all the younger blokes “You’ve ‘gotta’ stay on guard,

And the months of lengthy grazing,...

The two year old mahogany stallion's nostrils flared out
mist in the cool April morning, his veins prominent, his
sweat frothy on his regal neck and muscular chest.
His exercise rider, a youth himself, gently pulled him

What’s in a Name

The ranch has many horses
And all have earned a name.
Through color, deed and disposition,

Their moniker will proclaim
Their value to the cowboys
That gave each horse his name.

Mother rams with baby lambs
for greener grass are hunting.
Mama cows spy mama sows
with piglets softly grunting.

Creature ma’ams are joined by dams
whose baby colts start snorting!
