| My favourite animal (Prompt-3) We paced the shore laced in white foam The sky smiled and the sun shone. Blanco and I love the morning charm We are equally happy on the farm. My best friend ever since age nine, down the years our bond was fine. After school I go to the stables Rub him down with great care. He greets me with a nod and neigh His warmth and love, well conveyed. His coat is like silk under my hand As I straddle and lean on his soft back Together we ride on the forest road by the river, a brisk breeze ruffles his mane, a pretty picture. He prances around the paddock chasing hostile animals away and off. He helps my dad and mom in chores around our home His speed and gallop are worth a race in the Derby at Epsom.
