understand #1 [-]

thank you for giving something I can understand.Every word in fact.It is a monologue.After reading a poem the emotions do not end there.Some other rasa is created and one or two of the nine rasas become the backdrop..It is this rasa we will remember long after the poem is forgotten.How we feel after reading it.I think it is admiration,for one who can face so much pain.Wonder or 'adbudha'.also relief .This is what the poem does for me.I am not expert enough to comment on the form.

A few days before Frida Kahlo died on July 13, 1954, she wrote in her diary: "I hope the exit is joyful — and I hope never to return — Frida"

After having done a little research on Frida, I seem to wish to condemn your poem as inaccurate, LS.
Apparently she was good at twisting the truth... she claimed jewishness, but was discovered to be germanic lutheran: and even lied about her birthdate to directly relate herself as experiencing the mexican revolution. She was also bisexual... pretty controversial way back then.

I am not like you,
you effect/inflect/infect this reality,
I/It affect(s) my dreams.


I think with a little more clever word play, the poem as it stands could be made very memorable without extending it whatsoever. Her talent was primitive, naive, art.

Anna, I like this very much. I think that if you take away the picture of Frieda and change the title to something more engaging, you have a wonderful poem that applies to almost anyone who looks at 'the other side of the reflection in the mirror.' Not that I would use that as a title.

I would not go the way of adjusting anything to fit any real story about anyone--even Frieda's own story is skewed, while your poem is yours and very introspective.

The only stanza that leaves me questioning how effective it is is the last one, and it not about its content--I have not pinned down just what it is about the delivery.

Great poem!

like the distinction you make between painting & writing! yes if you paint reality you cannot escape the truth & if you write your dreams - you can 'gaze & escape & sometimes visa versa!

actually after giving this particular painting - the lines come across rather effectively.

i think the piece is complete by itself

what about the larger picture? did she also not do a lot of surrealistic dream like images as well?

personal life aside - she was a great artist! must not have been easy - considering her turbulent life & illness - there must have been some hope - even if she called it 'mirage'
