Of our faces in three ears,
Of our pink coats,
Of the curve broken by the yellow breasts
Picasso has fun.

Of these eyes beautiful as bridges,
Of these square dresses,
Of these chins as rainbows,
Picasso has fun.

Of our loves so small,
Of our red tomatoes,
Of our, angry pears,
Picasso has fun.

His paintings dance,
From Barcelona to The Paris area
His portraits are more beautiful
That all those who look at them

Any poem shaped like Minnesota has to be cool! (there's a pun hidden in my remark, yann)

In all seriousness, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. Actually, I'd say it's one of your best. I liked the structure and your word-play with Picasso. Especially this:

quote:
"His portraits are more beautiful
than all those who look at them"

Magnifique'!
