Frida Kahlo's Deer

The latest poem for Robert Brewer's Poem a day challenge. I loved this prompt. Poetry and art history together--how could it get better?

I run forever free

I run forever pinned to a page

By arrows of this sorrowing
World. I never shall be

Truly great. I'm caged

Within a box of pain

And shutters of a

Women's life. However

I furrow my brow in thought

I lack the antlers, thrust

And gait of Diego de

Rivera's work. Never mind.

I put my colors

On the page and there

Create a second life.

I run forever pinned to a page

I run forever free.
