My portrait painted, she said

I sat sedately while

the master painted me

in brush strokes sure and swift,

confidence unbounded.

I wore my new green dress

(which I simply adored)

matching my new green hat.

Do you find the likeness

fine and true, idealized?

Over at TweetSpeak Poetry, Seth Haines has a Surrealist poetry prompt – write a poem based on a painting by Salvador Dali or Pablo Picasso. I didn’t want to dally with Dali, so I went with a Picasso. You can see other submitted poems by checking Seth’s post.

This poem is also submitted to Open Link Night at dVersePoets. The links will be live at 2 p.m. Central time today.
