Is a ram really "ram tough"? Or is it "soft as a lamb"? Can it be both? Looking at the Rambouillet sheep at the Columbia County Fair, we consider the possibilities. Photos and discussion at blog.amynelsonhahn.info
Argosy
The fairness of your eye
belies the barbary mettle
churning behind its kind resolve;
and each curlicue swirl
of carapace declares,
you won't be tampered lightly,
though your fine garment
breeds gentle fortunes.
The delves and furrows,
the deft chenille
that girds your flanks
decries your martial image
with the pale softness of its whorl.
