April Poem-A-Day challenge
Today's prompt was to write about one of these two paintings.
Piazza d'Italia, by Giorgio de Chirico
The Little Deer, by Frida Kahlo
I chose ...
The Little Deer
Artist and subject fused
in a failed attempt to flee.
Pierced chest and side stained red
with man's inhumanity.
Cold forest gloom surrounds
atrocity on display.
All just the remains of
what was clearly a bad day.
