Today I have an animal for you -- a bull by Korean artist Lee Jung Seob.
It's not my first animal portrait to write about... back in 2015 I wrote about Renoir's Head of a Dog. Including an animal from time to time is one way to keep this project interesting -- for me. As those of you who write daily know, we can lose our enthusiasm from time to time!
Here's what this bull would like you to know:
Warning
My bellow
does not mean hello,
I am not at all
pleased to meet you.
I'd rather you stay
out
of my barbed wire
kingdom.
Remember, for me,
the sky is always red.
The sun blinks
danger danger danger –
so don't touch my cows
or my calves.
Please, just leave me
in peace
so I can breathe
the clover-sweet air.
- Irene Latham

Readers, I don't have a lot of experience with cows, but I do have the internet... and my mother's stories! She raised both dairy and beef cattle, and was very involved in showing them for 4-H. I've heard many tales of her adventures! The biggest message I got was, don't mess with a bull. They are unpredictable and dangerous.
When I was writing this poem I was also thinking about something I heard recently about people with Asperger's. This young adult said that being an Aspie was like that feeling of being mugged - the anxiety and terror - 24 hours a day. I was thinking perhaps this bull feels that way, too. Everything is a threat. "The world is too much with us...."
