matador is gored to death

Sad...Every so often we hear of one dying from that horrific accident..I know that they know there is always the possibility but most think it won't happen to me because I will be very careful..Enjoyed reading your work.Thanks for the visit to my page.Sara

It's barbaric and not 'sport' and its a surprise not more have been killed in the ring. I have read that in Pamplona they have the bull running through the streets and tragedies have occurred :-( hugs jan xx

Hooray for the bull!! Bullfighting has to be the cruelest of sports along with cock fights and dog fights.

I agree Daniel I expect the bull got killed too as it was 'dangerous ' :-( vile 'sport' :-( hugs Jan xx

One for the bull! I think that category you are looking for is a senryu, Jan! When I was on the farm I never approached the Bulls when they were on heat! Other than that they were fun to ride! Haha! Nicely done!

I'm not sure of the category Budgie as I see so many poems classified as 'haiku' that appear to have no link to nature. I will leave it as a haiku and ask advice from Andrea as she placed so well in Chris's last contest:-) hugs jan xx

It is dangerous Jan...great imagery...a Spanish matador was just killed in France last week.

Jan Allison

Oh I'd not read of that one Tim - it's dangerous and barbaric and how it can be classed as sport is beyond me:-) hugs Jan xx

A sad ending on the horns of death..powerful haiku Jan

Thanks Jospeh:-) I never know if I have written a haiku - I woke with this poem in my head and I like the irony of the words with the bull seeing red:-) :-) hugs Jan xx

Nicely done Jan. This does happen at times, it take someone tough or crazy to be a bullfighter. Myself I don't like the sport because I don't like seeing harm come to any animal, but I guess this time the animal came out on top.

I think it is a barbaric 'sport' and this incident happened in Spain last year and I read that it was the first death of a matador in the ring in 30 years. :-( hugs Jan xx

That load of bull really stinks! A goring tale of sadness! Great work, Jan!

I read an article on a matador who was gored to death in the ring. I personally thing bullfighting is barbaric but some people seem to enjoy the 'sport' . I don't know if its a haiku and wish there was a category for 'three line poetry':-) hugs Jan xx
