Your description of the matador is great ... and I'd always thought his dressing ... besides the cape ... may be enraging the bull. Its curious to think the bull may be exhausting himself with rage ... before he is cut down. Nice ...
Technically, mechanically I thought this was well written - both the bull and the toreador focused on the demise of the other - but for the sport I wince a little, maybe a lot. I know its a cultural thing - but it seems brutal. I'm glad you DIDN'T bring the brutality into this one and stayed succinct. Direct. I liked the clipped sentence style. Nicely done/

I've never seen a bull fight but I did read Ernest Hemingway's description of one in The Sun Also Rises. Hemingway was a crazy drunk who shot himself but I like to think he would have liked this poem. At least I did.

The sad part of Bull Fighting. The bull is drugged. It is a art form. Beauty of man against beast. Would be more interesting if the bull was in complete control. Beautiful photo and amazing description. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Oh ok. I thought you were wanting to know more about the bull being in control in the poem! Silly me.. read moreOh ok. I thought you were wanting to know more about the bull being in control in the poem! Silly me always thinking about me :P I don't watch that blasphemy either. I only wrote this for the color challenge. When I saw the challenge this popped in my head for some reason. I've never seen a bull fight in my life.
I really liked how you set this one up in stanzas, it made it a smooth read. Bull fighting has always been a little sad to me, they are killing the bulls for sport, not food. Kind of like dog fighting or something of the like. Still, I like how you got into the head of the bull in this, enraged by the red cape. Very unique.
