Notes About The Poem

Discovering a Little Dog In the Painting of S Dali

A little dog was sleeping 
At the bottom of the sea 
In the painting of Dali 
He was there all the time 
But we didn’t see it
Till a touch of divination 
Wakens up imagination 
And a hand of inspiration 
Brushes paint on the surface 
Of the canvas and we see 
Gentle hand of a little girl 
Lifting the edge of the veil 
Of the deep dreamy ocean 
Slowly revealing the motion 
Of cozy sandy landscape
Of the bottom of the sea 
And in awe suddenly we see 
A spotted dog cozy resting 
In the canvas of Dali 
He was there all the time 
But we saw only plain
Reflection of the sky 
On the surface of the water
And the ripples swinging by 
We did not see below the screen 
Of the mass of bluish green 
Body of the ocean
