Matador

Poet:  Ken Jordan
Poem:  Matador
Edited by:  Sparkle Jordan
written:  October/2015

Bravely 
he
poses

before
the
gates 

of
sudden death -

Poised
to
face 

his
most

formidable 
foe -

He's
the Toreros,

fearless

with 
bullfighting 

etched  

way down
in 
his soul.

He's
Debonair;

In
a
Traje De Luces,

holding
Banderillas,

and
Montera.

A
Matador?....

Yes,

Agile 
with 
grace,

His skills
are
mystic

Inside
the
Bull Ring

where

thousands
roar!

to
watch him
wave

his
Capote De Paseo,

to
the face

of

a charging
beast -

And 
with each 
narrow escape,

the 
Matador De Toros,

hear's 
the crowd 
roar!

for 
his artistry......

He's 
a
flamboyant
maestro  -

King
of
the ring -

Dressed
to
kill,

preparing 
to
thrust

banderillas 

Into
a bull,

upon
the blood red
dirt,

in
black
Zapatillas
