Honey Nara Poet Rhyme

Dora Maar with Green Fingernails

Dora Maar with Green Fingernails

In Elementary school 
I was not good at shapes at drawings
When I look at the Dora Maar with 
green fingernails
I look at my own fingernails
with green smeared all over 
my hands

I was a fool
painting all over my fingers, and then there are my drawings 
Convincing people that Picasso is one of the greatest artists is a myth
green fingernails
Misproportioned – moreover
It’s bland.

ThkU for sharing your views on this one. Best for Contest if you are submitting your poem ~ know that “judges” of Poetry also have their own preferences, dependent on their perceptions. B blessed., Ghairo. Honey Nara April 30, 2026 at 9:08 PM Honestly I did not think of this when I submitted, I just submit with the first thing in mind, but you're right about this.
