Comment from Tom Horonzy
Sometimes, all it takes is a little nick to irritate, doesn't it? Even animals have a way of saying what is on their mind but the translation to English is a difficult horror for the poor lil... or big animal.

Very interesting poetic story. You incorporated the three words seamlessly into your and the story rhymed well and had a moral at the end. It is a good lesson for riders. I can imagine that spur hurting more with a person adding weight.
Good entry. and good luck.

You did a great job with this poem and you used the required words. This poem with work in a western and and story in poem contest. I enjoy reading it. Maybe that is why the last horse I rode ran away with me and tried to knock me out of the saddle with a tree limb. I didn't check for burrs.

I enjoyed this poem especially the humor, and the way you told a story. the ending was a surprise to the storyteller, as well as to the reader. Your advice at the end!

An interesting poem.
The flow is good. The images are crisp. The language is befitting the topic. The moral at the end is wonderful.
Suggestion:
You wrote:
Check for those burrs and you won't get chucked.
A conclusion that can't be made with certainty.
An alternative might be:
Check for those burrs and or else get chucked.
Thanks for a good read.

Love this one. Of course I was once a horse person and experienced my share of bucking. I think my horse just liked to make sure I was paying attention. A few times I wasn't. I like the way your poem reads as well as the subject matter. I'm glad you chose humor.
