The first line is so gripping. Really pulls me in and the whole poem swallows me whole. Love the emotion. -Nik

AWESOME poem TJ,

Loved the rhyming and flow! Short but awesome read.

This really reads like an inside story, TJ. What a rush one must feel doing this. The last line made me smile, because..you don't HAVE to do it, right? ha ha ha!

Well done,

5/5 Ingrid

TJ,

What can I say other than that I loved it. Your flow was excellent and the feeling of the poem was spot on.

5/5

TJ, I don't know why.. but I couldn't remove the picture of a cowboy (your old photo ;) within my eyes when I read this.

Cowboy prayers silently said

^ I wonder what are those prayers, haha..

Is this about rodeo?

I think subtly, it is.. because everything can be related to that. I love how you described the man.. and the ending line is beautiful.

Way to go, bro :D

Very good, I always enjoy the rhymes and the flow of your poems. They never seem force, which is awesome and this one is one of those piece that are short but delivers the message clearly.

First, I love the title.

Second, althought the poem itself was short, but the feelings you get from it can be extended to so many things.

Really good piece.

This is awesome! I love rodeos as I said, I love the bull riders because they love what they do but they also love God and they always pray before they go out to ask for Gods safety to be upon them so a bull doesnt crush them or break bones...

So intense! I love this poem just as much as I love the rodeos lol

Stellar my King!

AS always TJ well done. Good imagery and word flow.

Oh mercy sakes! TJ- you have written a powerful and explosive piece here... loved this poem!!!
