Picasso

A little abstract...

Clever marksman

Looked me in the mirror

And shot backwards

With a black bow

Tied around my neck

I inspected

The floral arrangement from above

The balcony up so high

I could hitch a ride

On the wings of a dove

No superlatives could describe

Why, how or when

Amidst the barrage of

Whys? Hows? and Whens?

There was no real answer

Just random impulses

Of the inner brain

Playing connect the dots between synapses

Desperately and hopelessly

Attempting to make sense of this Picasso.

Reviews

I loved the Spanish surrealism, within your words, But would Pablo paint like this? Pity he's not here anymore, if not we could ask him. I guess he would be honored though. The dove the dove.... I saw an guitar, instead of it, a Spanish guitar..... those could fly too you know, if their strings cry.

Lovely job my friend!

This could border on poetry coming from a surrealist poet. It's amazing what one can conjour up when you set your subconscious mind alive and allow the ink in your quill to flow with no explanations needed. Some could say these are just a play on words and can't make any sense and others would say.. genius!

Your words fall freely from an inquisitive and creative mind as did Picasso's works of art. He painted his pieces to be viewed and interpreted from minds that have no boundaries and lots of imagination.

Readers will either get you or they won't, however you've penned this piece brilliantly.... I get it and I loved it too!

I loved this poem. I love Picasso's work as well, although I couldn't tell if he was used here metaphorically or quite literally? I assume metaphorically... Not too sure on that one. Regardless, it's a nice read, so thanks (:

Thank you El! I like Picasso's work also, especially the abstract pieces that totally open to interpretation, which pretty much describes this poem, it can be interpreted in at least two ways. I wonder how many different interpretations will crop up in reviews of this piece?

[Elizabeth McNeill]

We'll have to find out (: You mention 2 different ways. What are they?

[D.C.Randon]

Aha...

I'll message ya
