I guess you have to stick around for all the events of one afternoon at the Plaza del Toros to become fascinated. Waht was the word Hemmingway used? I'll remember later after a can of cold, fuzzy caffeine. I was nine when I saw this spectacle and my emotions went from being at first horriied through curious and finally fascination of this ballet to death.
Oh, and wonderful poetry. Nice imagery emotion (devious and demise are superb)
Val--I defer to the internet for an answer to your question; a quick scan would appear to be a definite yes, in Spain and Mexico, a bloodless form of bullfight exists in California. I stopped looking at that point. I hope the info helps you.
I understand that, Carol and Juniper.
Your teradactyl beneath an arch is cool, Juniper.
Have you ever read Hemingway's "Death in the Afternoon", d m.? From a human drama surrounding bullfighting standpoint it is an excellent expose.
I understand that, Billie. Same question to you: Have you ever read Hemingway's "Death in the Afternoon"? It's a good'un!
Intense imagery. Love the crimson blade. I too, have a poem called Culture'sClash about a bullfight for I lived in Salamanca, Spain for a few months and the image will eternally be etched upon my mind
I found your powerful poem, Amanda, thank you. It is lusty and earthy as befits a bullfight. I enjoyed it very much.
"Si, d m. Toro! Brehng on de bools!" Personally I'd rather read "The Story of Ferdinand" by Munro Leaf. Ferdinand is my kind of bool--and he gets away with his life!
