In Stable Time : Animal Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


 

Nadine's as quiet as a secret that's not clear

and the smell of horse dungs thick in the air .

 The clock in the stable ticks away

And all the other hands are all asleep except for her .

 Its almost stable time for the big mare and

already Nadine's nerves have begun to stir .

 There's loud snoring and she's ignoring the mice

that's chewing on a rope in the corner there .

 Hanging on tender hooks are the straps

along with some of the big hopes the stud have in mind .

 Nadine washes down the mare as the foal gets to its feet

At last nerves begin to unwind .

 Nadine makes a call and the stable secret is out .

The other hands are now all awake .

Stable time and there's sacks of feed and stacks of hay .

But what a difference a night can make .
