The Stables

In bustling towns like Shaentha’s much to do.
Among the coastal fare are stables full
Of horses joined with folk as rides ensue – 
The mounts so nimble gallop, jerk and pull.

Along with colts are thramme beasts to ride.
Draconic beasts as lizard’s distant kin,
With legs of four the thramme steeds reside
In stables - rode by larger folk therein.

The kin of flighted birds are stukme steeds.
As flightless birds, they’re sleeker, nimble mounts.
Preferred by smaller folk to suit their needs,
They move and leap in every way that counts.

As lunmi, Klenna joined with Zhalna there
And froggish Rouna next to Thoikna park,
Young Chunna cleans the stalls. An gal so fair
With deerish looks, her fur is smooth and dark.

To skills she hones with mounts so few compare.
Her partner Ranna’s is close behind with steeds.
Her graceful mien and piercing eyes are fair -
Providing love and care her partner needs.

Since Skanna near to Thoikna love each stable breed,
They join the group for wholesome pleasure’s sake.
Though nonme Skanna wants a stukme steed,
A thramme pokme Thoikna's set to take.

Though froggish folk are small and agile guys
And gals, the bearish folk are large and furred. 
With brown, imposing forms and smaller eyes,
The size of thramme beasts is oft preferred. 

Young Chunna says, “The steeds are set to ride”
“The reddish thramme there for Thoikna’s quite
The beast to handle here” speaks Ranna’s pride.
“I know!” young Chunna says with clear delight.  

For Rouna there a stukme mount of blue
Is brought, while Zhalna rides with Klenna’s equine steeds
Of brown and white. The group of folk has true
And honest joy they share through bridle leeds.

Upon the windy, balmy trail they ride
Until the orange sun is due to set.
They’re tired - along with hardy steeds that bide
In sheds - awaiting riders there they’ve met.

The pellage, plumes and scales of steeds they pet;
They quench their thirst and feed their hunger there -
Reminding zhammak folk the world beget 
Majestic beasts in lands we’re apt to share.

Though modern Kasran’s full of cars and planes,
The steeds that zhammak ride delight each heart.
These beasts allowed for farming, growing grains
And trips to towns that maps were made to chart.
