The Lambing Poem by Sheena Blackwell

Like grey fur boulders rabbits huddle down, Ears pressed back like sleeves, Raiding the grassy larder of the fields.
The car goes cobbling over Ruts and pots of pasture, Stops and fixes the ewe In its twinned spotlight.
Under the cold stars, Stuck between push and pant, She’s hard by the dyke, Womb filled with lamb Jammed in the breech position.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This is not an occasion For caution, for gentle introduction, For ‘How do you dos’; A flying tackle topples her off Her four black matronly pegs, A capsized table, wearing a face of fleece.

Her master thrusts his hand into the bloody darkness Closing around his arm like a mouth. His sinews tauten. One pull jerks out a slimey, slithery flop, All dangly legs and head Swung like a pendulum over the racing ground. He cleans its mouth of muck, Lays it down, Kneads its sides like bellows.

The baa when it comes is beautiful; Thin and reedy, ancient and new. Here is craft at work, Satisfactory as sliding glass into wooden grooves Properly fitted, every corner plumb; Like setting a ship in motion down a slipway.
