Portrait of Olga in an Armchair

I was deleting files from my desktop when I found this. We were assigned to write a poem for my art class based on Picasso's painting entitled, "Portrait of Olga in an Armchair".

  Portrait of Olga in the Armchair

As she sits in the cloth-covered chair

She stares at me with eyes that glare

One arm poised, the other withdrawn

She looks as if she wants to yell:

“Look at me! I’m perfect! I’m unflawed!”

The girl in the armchair who clutches the fan

Has no question what the future has planned

Sitting in the chair so wonderfully adorned

Stop, stay still

For finally her world was adored

Who would’ve thought with that look in her eyes

Her perfect world would shrivel up and die?

A dancer, a mother, a wife so great

How did she succumb to this fate?

Darkly, silently, evil crept in

And stole her joys right under her wing

If only she could bring back what had gone wrong

Too late, my dear, he didn’t want you all along
