The Bull Run

Herd of running bulls,
Resonates off cobblestone:
Serenaded death.

I can hear the thunderous sound of collective hooves on cobblestone as the herd frantically rushes through the street. What a horrific death to those who are tramples. I enjoy the term "serenaded" death in this expression.

I consider it a barbaric tradition. Great interpretation of this event in your Haiku, dear Raul. All the very best, Iolanda
