WHEEL HORSE

on our place on Old 31 in Franklin,
we had a three compartment garage –
the left side is where Grandpa kept the
old red riding lawn mower that he kept
sharp to keep a beautiful lawn;
it was a Wheel Horse and it’s dank home
smelled of petrol and cold dirt;
He was good with all our equipment,
a smart man who was so quiet you would
never guess he harbored so much knowledge;
He bought the lawnmower very used, but
in his vast brain he just knew inherently how
to fix it. He was smart like that.

  1. good clear fluent words. They flow well and describe so I can see the mower and have a good sense of him.

    look at this section again.
    he harbored so much knowledge;
    He bought the lawnmower very used, but
    in his vast brain he just knew inherently how
    to fix it. He was smart like that.

    I think we knowledge suggests something we learn,and you are talking about talent,an inherent and inborn skill. Was he smart like that in other ways? I’m just more interested in him/
