Dear Willie, Wonderful story about a bull charging and a rider's fear overcome with his friend encouraging him. I've seen bull riding and bronco riding on TV, and I think the men who do this have great courage. Dove

This is a poem about a bull rider in a rodeo and takes the reader through the eight seconds of a ride, plus a little bit of what transpired before and after. Favorite lines:
The bull stood silent
Stopped by the fence,


Suggestions on punctuation:
The bull went wild
While being mounted,
For eight long seconds,
The clock counted.
I think I would put a period or semi-colon after mounted instead of a comma. I think I would take the comma out after seconds.

Then all at once
Time stood still,
He only remembered,
How hard he fell.
I think I would put a period after still. I think maybe the comma is unnecessary after remembered.

I enjoyed reading your Western poem. It reminds me of a show I watched on Netflix called 'Fearless'. It was just brilliant and I developed a massive interest in professional bull riding after that. Which people found highly amusing because I'm an Irish girl and I've never even ridden a horse! Thanks for sharing this wonderful rhyming poem.

This poem, You Rode Him, Boy, takes the readers through this series of the preparation and execution of riding a broncing bull successfully for probably the first time.

This is a very well written poem about a cowboy in a rodeo and the things that he does and how he overcame his fear in spite of the dangers that were there. I enjoyed your poem very much and it flows very well. When it is read aloud, may you have a wonderful weekend and may God bless you. Patricia.
