Taurus V Toro

He'd lived for fighting! In the ring, the matador was hailed as brave. They said he was the bull fight king. He'd lived for fighting in the ring. But then he lost, one day in spring - his birthday - trampled to his grave. He'd lived! For fighting in the ring, the matador was hailed as brave! written 9th May, for Andrea's Triolet contest

Hello Jack Horne, I would root for the bull. I have seen bull fights 5 in a roll and I did not enjoy them. Have you seen a bull fight? if so what are your thoughts? Havea nice evening my friend.

Jack, you captured my heart with this one since I adore your horoscope sign AND I love the history of Spain and its famous matadors and "EL TORO" MUY BUENO. Congrats.

Sad to read of a famous El Matador that died in the ring or was gored and died later from his injury/injuries. Thanks for the visits to my page. Sara

Bravo! I toyed with something with Taurus, too—but had to just give up my failed attempts. You succeeded! The tale of a matador! Best of luck in the contest!
