Happy Birthday Pablo Picasso

In a riot of colours using brushes with valour,
Many movements he started devoid of pallor.
From a town called Malaga,far off in spain,
Pouring his heart out,unloading his pain.
What a journey he started from conformity parted,
To paint till the last,until he departed.
Many have aspired and wanted to be,
Including your's truly,I say why not me?
From erotic nudism to new found cubism,
His loss to the world left a wide open chasm.
How God made him great,I never could fathom?
But thats the way I guess God wanted to make him.
Although the years rolled and went passing by,
Another painters yet to reach for the sky.
I'm telling the truth and not telling a lie,
I'll love only Pablo until that day when I die.
I know he had friends,some straight and some gay,
But all I want to say today is....Happy Birthday.

PS.It was Pablo Picasso's B'day on 25/10/09 and I dedicate this poem to this 
mentor and inspiration of mine.

Very nice write and great dedication to a reknown artist indeed. I did an essay on Pablo Picasso when in my last year of high school. Indeed quite a journey he walked. Thank you for sharing and thank you for reading my poetry. Best wishes, Caroline.

Prince, I enjoyed this very much. You must be a painter, as am I. Pablo Picasso explored the arts inside out. His greatness and freedom inspires many. How good of you to remember his birthday. I am glad that I found your work. You'll be in my favorites. Lovingly, Dane
