What are some facts about a grassland biome?

           A slam poem about the Homestead land give away.                              
                                Ocean of Grass
                                Edward Hirsch
              The ground was holy, but the wind was harsh
              and unbroken prairie stretched for hundreds of
                  miles

              So that all she could see was an ocean of            
               grass
               Some days she got so lonely she went outside
              and nestled among the sheep, for company.

              The ground was holy, but the wind was harsh
              and prairie fires swept across the plains,
              lightning up the country like a vast tinder box
              until all she could see was an ocean of flames.

             She went three years without viewing a tree.
             When her husband took her on a timber
                  run

             she called the land holy but the wind was harsh
             and got down on her knees and wept
                 inconsolably,

             and lived in a sod hut for thirty more years
             until the world dissolved in a world of grass.
