A Parabola By Picasso

A Parabola By Picasso 

On piece of paper painted picture of a parabola
And started cutting it off with a small spatula
Put plaster of Paris in protruding plastic syringe
After seeing ugly color I then started to cringe.

All the color on parabola had just been sprayed
Out in bright sun is where finally had been laid
Poor parabola outside until it all did dry
And then it was sold to someone passing by.

Parabola and artist they both did part
Now in galleria is perfect, priceless piece of art
On who for this artful should we place the blame:
Did you know Picasso happened to be his name.

An observer of Picasso paintings was half-lit
And chewed up Picasso picture bit by bit
By creator he voraciously had been beguiled
When it was spit out all of the people smiled.

So even though you may not be the smartest
And on picture of parabola worked the hardest
Ray of hope on it appeared from out of the dark
All the other great artists gave it a glowing remark.

Again, a piece of rhyming deserving attention. I repeat my opinion about your poetry. It seem sthat you have some difficulty in getting perfect rhymes which limits somewhat you feelings, but your attitude to rhyming is evident. So, insist trying to put more of your thoughts inside your poems!

Mario, Your comments are always great and well-taken. My poems usually have a theme and purpose in mind which the poem revolves around. I met a professor at a junior college and preparing a poem about him I want you to look at. You are the the poetry soup editor that they highly need. Jim Horn
