Picasso Poem by Frank Avon

Picasso

Rating: 3.5


Picasso knew war,
it's what he deplored,
its horror,
its complexities,
disruption,
fragmentation

Guernica

Picasso
knew simplicity,
a few lines of hope,
a few lines - and white,
just one spring of green,
what we pray for.

Shalom

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
In Picasso's drawings of doves, of which there are quite a few, the sprig is usually black, but one imagines it as green. He also has a number of doves with several colors sprinkled around them. I'm not sure that any of them has the single sprinkle of green.
