"Red" Sonnet ~ In response to Frida Kahlo and on the occasion of being a fool ~

A Draft inspired by the art of Frida Kahlo.

The Matador

The flag extends, in arm outstretched, for sake of bold
His eye drops along its frame.  The cloth, a sign,
Draped on, in spite of sense, unfurled, it's lack of fold
An offense to the braying monster beyond.

The Barfly

They shadowed about the pate of varnished wood says
Little, thoughtful quiet, in the reflective glow
Are words enough.  For in the undulating buzz
Contemplation is found in the gloss of spilled drink.

The Revolutionary

On her lips the warning color, the warring one,
Revolt declared by the fierce eyes: ready, wet,
The masses now struggle, civil thoughts undone,
Smoke rose, the fire lit and she moves to the fore.

Couplet

Whatever the tone, its force is the same,
Colours of wanting make measures of claim.
