This poem has remained deep within my heart since I first read it over 40
years ago. It speaks to what is forever wild in our nature. Unbroken.

I first read this poem when I was in the 8th grade, which was many years
ago. It was the first poem that made me cry, and it still can. The degree
of emotion this poem stirs in me is unmatched by many others. Need I add
that I'm an ardent animal rights supporter? This poem undoubtedly sowed
those seeds.

I love the symbolism in this poem. We are all broncos sent to be broken.
We were all children once, natural and genuine. We are to be taught our
place in society. We are taught to conform, to give up our true selves in
order to be accepted and loved. The Bronco loved himself and was true to
himself despite the cost. He is a sort of Christ figure who is brutally
killed by those in power who are blind to his sacredness and courage.

I first read four lines from this poem, "The butterflies there in the bush
were romancing,
The smell of the grass caught your soul in a trance,
So why be a-fearing the spurs and the traces,
O broncho that would not be broken of dancing?"
About 18 years ago in an advertisement for a stallion in a horse magazine,
I came across these lines. They have never left my consciousness.
As a lifetime owner of horses, nothing has touched me like these lines, and
it was wonderful to at last, find this website and the rest of this epic
poem. I am very grateful for that, and look forward to reading all of the
poems posted. Thank you!
