There is a certain uniqueness to rural life that not many, except those living the country lifestyle daily, experience. This is a lifestyle of intimacy with nautre and with domesticated animals that rural life depends upon. G.B. Griffith's poetry positively exudes the calm and quiet of the rural life of a wizened cowboy. His words illustrate the intimacy of daily tasks such as grooming and feeding. Reading his poetry is like feeling the horse's breath on your own palm or hearing the swish of their tails with your own ears.
