Notes About The Poem

7/8/2026 for Zodiac Signs As Inspiration sponsored by Nette Onclaud 

Life is a Bullfight

Life is a bullfight
replete with an ugly, snorting beast,
with murderous eyes and sharpened horns, 
trying relentlessly to kill you
in the most painful way possible 
while your friends and family in the arena, 
drooling, laughing, and cheering,
eagerly await the outcome.

Thanks Faye! Yep, it does - but I guess the thing to remember is that while some are waiting for you to be gored, some are also hoping you'll get out of the ring unharmed!
