The Palomino Stallion -- Alden Nowlan


Though the barn is so warm
that the oats in his manger,
the straw in his bed
seem to give off smoke —

though the wind is so cold,
the snow in the pasture
so deep he'd fall down
and freeze in an hour —

the eleven-month-old palomino stallion
has gone almost crazy
fighting and pleading
to be let out.

It seems different countries, different cultures, we really can decide things in the same understanding of the difference!

Read your article, if I just would say: very good, it is somewhat insufficient, but I am

still tempted to say: really good!
