My wild woman in pearls // kaleidoscope of beauty
What are you thinking in that hollow mind
What did you say?
Oh, you are more than the sum of your colors.
Tell me what you want of me;
I gave you the pearls to make you stand out.
Your cranial donuts make me hungry…
And, what’s going on with your earring?
Oh, your ear is invisible!
Your blue eyes radiate emptiness.
Yes. I know // I created you!
Your enigmatic smile
Your rounded nose
That cute flip of the hair
Wild woman you are my kind of girl!
Painting “Wild Woman In Pearls” – Dwight L. Roth
Today at d’Verse Linda asked us to consider surrealism and poetry. We are to write a surreal poem. This crazy painting I did a few years ago seemed to fit the bill. This is what my free wondering mind came up with for the prompt.

Thank you Jade! I don’t quite know where she came from at the time. She just sort of evolved wet on wet on the canvas!

I would call this painting one from your Picasso period; excellent abstract rendering. For your first “surreal” poem, this is off the chart.

I like the use of ‘colors’ in this line: “Oh, you are more than the sum of your colors.”

Both are surreal. You know what’s funny? I am reading Gertrude Stein’s The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, and Stein just bought one of Matisse’s early paintings called Femme au Chapeau and it looks like yours… colorful. Ah, this world…
