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.

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

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