La Guernica '33 Dais' Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

title international headlines
wait for Blitzkrieg lightning war billing
music is city-busting pounding...

at chaos echo empty wall standing
Pablo Picasso is impaled screams hearing
dictatorship carpet bombing falling...

'Antonio Banderas
Is Going To Be One
Sexy Pablo Picasso'

maybe an Oscar win
in dramatic movie '33 Dais'
(33 Days) ? Antonio

will act staged part
swear blood dripping paint
perhaps even realize

a sexy Picasso
in grasped psyche
mind strokes

but as for impaled painting
La Guernica other artists
have already soul possessed

protest painting
in mind spaces
war illuminating
