How to write a Ratio

To write a ratio,
you must know how,
How many buckets of milk from each cow?
Farmer Howe must sell one breed,
Brown or Horned,
which will it be?
If she gets 3 buckets
from each Brown,
for Horned,
it's looking down.
But they give 4 buckets per cow!
3:1 or 4:1?
There is no contest,
even though Farmer Howe
may detest
selling her cows,
even she knows who's
best

The emptiness inside of my heart is still screaming.
It's quieter some days,
It's louder others.

And call all of my broken pieces beautiful.
Pick it up shard by shard,
