Giorgio de Chirico, Love Song
A blank look spread over his face
When the doctor said,‘Now turn your head and cough.’
There are times that I take myself too seriously. But this is not one of them. This is written for the poetry challenge given by Mark Kerstetter for d'Verse Poets Pub . We are to write a poem based on one of the paintings of Giorgio de Chirico, who was a of the leading proponents of the Surrealist movement. He has done a wonderful job presenting the history and philosophy of the movement, and my poem is absolutely unworthy of this. I hope it will be accepted as it is offered, in the spirit of fun. So, just as well, I didn't make their deadline to link it; but, if you would like to see some serious poems on about Chirico's paintings click on the link above.
I didn't participate, but it's funny as I was thinking along the same lines when I saw this picture, especially that glove!! Great take, got a good laugh!!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it must be a surreal moment for a man when the doctor says that.
