Long Gelding Poems

I've always admired 
horses
and I guess I most surely 
always will
No legend without em'

Reminding all the younger blokes “You’ve ‘gotta’ stay on guard,
For even decent broken horses have a spirit that is high,
And the months of lengthy grazing,...

and waltzed her round the floor.
He told her how much he loved her

Sick to death and two six guns blazing

She was four years old
Apples in bulging pockets from garden trees
Cold day in autumn

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

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!
Calves and colts and pigs like dolts
in meadows are cavorting.
