Notes About The Poem

cigarette girl by magritte 

 

LOVELY LADIES SERIES magritte

Mostly an oddball was Magritte
here however a portrait sweet
Usually & reputably so surreal 
this 'cig girl' is so so real

Belgian Rene Magritte
whose paintings were so neat
Full of stilled enigmatic
in scenesso idiosyncratic

Rene Magritte so surrealiste
was also a moraliste
His art as a dream
never reveal what they dream

Renee Magritte,an enigma in a bowler hat
I wonder what we should make of that
perhaps they are his alter ego
he never said so we'll never know

so
     banal
                yet
deadpan
absurd
             clashing
             symbols
heard
          in 
              the eye
           where
imagery
is
                  all
