Picasso's Mind

if you look inside Picasso's mind
there is no telling what you will find

with no rules there's more to paint 
in the take of chance along the way

as mocking birds sing foreign tunes
just outside of his blue room

painting all night in abstract
but isn't life a lot like that

Mike, your poem is awesome. I love how the mockingbirds are reminiscent of how Picasso was mocked during his lifetime. Who's laughing now? And I love how you ended your poem. I FAVE'd it.

He was an excellent abstract artist but I think my fave was Vincent Van Gogh…Good one Mike! ps I wonder if someone has his mind kept in a jar like Einstein's lol! ;)

Wonderful ink! Pleasing this Picasso fan :) My favourite quote from the master: "It took me a lifetime to learn to draw like a child" As a visual artist I have struggled with what could I possibly do that Picasso hasn't done ;) xomo!
