My heart thumping is all i can hear
standing by the chutes, my adrenaline consumes my fear
those eight swift seconds that could decide
between a good or bad ride
The gate swings open and here we go
holding on tight for five bucks in a row
don't let the rigging go, keep it in tight
you gotta hit every stride right
my eyes fixed through my caged mask
this ride could be a tricky task
my head is hot and my hand is burning
cause this wild thing wont stop turning
I hear the buzzer, what a reassuring sound
the things still bucking as i swing to the ground
this is my sport, my passion, and addiction
my feelings for it are unlike any fairytale fiction
Its something you've got to experience first hand
its a physical and mental demand
but its worth the pain, and the pains worth the pride
stronger the feeling will grow inside
You just got to get back up, outta the mud
wipe up the sweat and clean up the blood
you have the confidence that you've covered more than few
you may be soar, but a scars a better tattoo
When you on there is no debate
just pray to god he'll spare your fate
this is a life with no shame
and you bet cowgirl is what ill claim
Author notes
This poem, if you didnt catch it, is about bronc riding. Bronc riding is similiar to bull riding but with a normal sized horse instead of a bull. I am a bronc rider and it is my life, so i hope you enjoy this poem as much as I do!!!

Very good write i enjoyed it I watch the Rodao every opertunity I get I love the Bronc riding,
-
This is awesome! I loved it. Having gotten on some rank ones myself (obviously not in a rodeo) I know how that rush feels and I get the same one running barrels, I love the feeling. My suggestions are that you change the thrird line in the first stanza to are what could decide, and that you caps God. Very nice write though. I loved it.

thanks for your advice, but ill keep it the same, its not about the rhyme its about the content!

Good Luck
This is good but I feel some lines are a little too long in places. Maybe re read it yourself and shorten up some of the longer lines so it flows better.
You have written a great piece here though. Good luck in this contest.
Keep writing
