Bull Fight (A Tanka)


Bull Fight by Pablo Picasso



Defiant knives scream
raised up in radiant sun
while bull horns bellow
red-eyed rebelling retort
to Toreador.

I wrote a cinquian about a bull, but I lost it when my computer burned.

I think they ought to give the bull the knives... then we'd see how many 'brave' toreadors we have. Nice one, Jo...

Hey Jo, you really know how to rile these fellas lol. Great poem!

Nice work Jo. I think the knifes kind of balance out the horns; but perhaps we do away with the cape (no distractions).
