Best explained as short stories in rhyming form. A collection of 51 works that were written to be easy to read with the intent of capturing the reader''s attention with widely diverse themes ranging from horse care (20 Below), spiritual (Silent Prayer), to the simple pleasure of a glass of wine with the optimistic view of what tomorrow may bring (Glass of Wine). All describe life from the perspective of an individual living out on the range on a small horse ranch. Some works are written in a straightforward manner in their purpose and ease in understanding the author''s intent. Others ask the readers to peel back a layer on what they are reading, to ascertain the deeper meaning behind the words used in the work, to "ponder" what is really being said, and to arrive at that all important "I get it" moment.
