Carpe Diem prompt today is Taurus or bull. I have selected Pablo Picasso as artwork for this.

A bullfight by Pablo Picasso
the brave matador
proves his manlyness
with death of bull

chanceless bull
slowly bleed to death –
cheering crowd

Taurus and Leo
marriage is impossible
love is futile

I also chose the bullfight but went slightly more surreal. I like these.
I got inspired by dVerse who wanted us to let it bleed….
LOL
Love the Matador reference Bjorn!!! Very nice.
Thank you 😉
you’re on a roll with those 3rd stanzas this week, aren’t you?! haha
That one was meant ironic…
“chanceless bull” like that.
bullfighting is just acting
Not so much for the bull.
True
bullfighting itself a nice topic, v nice!
Thank you 🙂 first think I could think of.
cruel sport
bloodless taurus in the sky
is happier
Cheers!

Oh yes 😉 very much so
Love the imagery in this set Bjorn.
Thank you 🙂
I think men and women view animals in different ways…or at least my observation with writing. Hunting and killing seem sort of natural to men. Speaking for myself, I shun harm to animals even for food. Your last one…you know more about zodiac than I do! Such intense Picasso. Always like your take on things. I learn.
Oh I mostly share your view on killing animals…
thought provoking haiku ~ each set unique ~ Enjoy ^_^
Thank you 🙂
Oh my, you have killed us off in your haiku and left us to bleed out and then the fatal marriage of taurus and leo. Wow! Are you my ex? 🙂
😉 if only stars were to blame…
well, I love the bull and matador in this vignette…and your are right probably about a love match from those two signs, but my daughter is a Taurus that overlaps Aries, and we mesh like we knew each other in another lifetime…but we’re two girls. I’ve more of your recent writings I want to read Bjorn, just need to find the time to focus more on them;)
We all lack time to read, I am so happy for any nice comments. The one about star signs not matched was intended to be ironic 😉
I’ve never seen a bullfight, and your vivid words remind me why.
Bull in a China Shop
Very nice
Excellent take Bjorn. As a Leo, I think I agree with the third one too 🙂
Fantastic, and the Picasso painting adds a vibrancy to it all. 😉
