Poem Title:
Poem
Standing in front of this enormous masterpiece, Seeing his life story as the layers release. I wasn’t warned to expect a wonder so rare. I guess I expected a melting clock here or there. Venus di Milo inspired his hallucinating toreador. Dali features her likeness fourteen times or more. Three of the statuesque figures are full life size. The painting is over twelve feet high, quite a surprise. For his toreador with all the masculine strength of Spain. He chose a goddess of feminine beauty not in vane. Encompassed in her body is the face of the toreador. His cream shirt and the button to hold it, as placed before. The toreador’s green tie fits neatly into place. Flies marching in straight lines, his hat they retrace. A splash of color and patterns depict his suit of lights, The bull exploding through his cape is in our sights. A Dalmatian dog, its head down to the ground. Is in what would seem light flickering all around. And a tiny portrait of Dali as a boy is to the dog’s right. Dali’s wife is in a cameo top left, she hates the bull fight. His whole painting is the bull fighting arena to engage. The magnificent toreador is resplendent in center stage. The color and flow of the scene being artfully set. Such hallucinations and even more to be found yet. Venus is so cold and sedate, the flamboyant toreador. Swishing his giant cape masterfully the crowd adore. He shows the banderillos used to taunt the bull. Blood shows as blue and the bullfight is here to its full. Could it be ironic a swarm of Girona flies once deterred a fight. Yet as strong as the bull is, it can do nothing to escape its plight?
