Boy Bitten By a Crayfish

Boy Bitten By a Crayfish When women seen with no powers to create Vessel to feed male seed for generations She could make images live and update Both of procreation and creation. Once drew a painting of a laughing girl Sent to Michelangelo to review Quickly returned the painting with a hurl Draw on the subject of crying child anew. She painted “Boy bitten by a crayfish” Tear-eyed brother weeping over the cut The sister trying much hard to appease And make peace with great master’s guts. This feat, noticed by artists of her time Was placed with “Cleopatra” in prime. ========================== Fifth place win in Cindy's contest ** I was inspired to write this poem by her painting BOY BITTEN BY CRAYFISH, one of her earlier painting**
