I have a horse: a cowboy poem

Rhythm
Of the beat
Of the trail so slow,
Clippin’
And a-cloppin’
Lis’tnin’ to the world grow.

Singin’
And a-songin’
To the heartbeat of the earth,
Thinkin’
And a-pond’rin’
Wondering what my life is worth.

Creakin’
And a-crackin’
From the bones in my back,
Weepin’
And a-warpin’
Is the sky so black.

Clearin’
And a-cloudin’
Is the attic of my mind,
I’ll ride
And keep on riding,
And I’ll see what I can find.
