Day 13 OctPoWriMo -2017 (Prompt- Art In The Wayward Mind )
A woman in pants
With a cigar in her hands
A weird looking gaze
With a short mustache
And her crooked body
Became a topic to chase.
Her head covered with feathers
She sneered at the tongue waggers
She crossed every bridge with pride
Living on her own terms
She let the world eat a humble pie
When she attained fame far and wide.
A painter with a substance she was
Who stuck to her roots
In awe of her feisty halo
The one and only one Frida Kahlo.
Once I came across the prompt I started to wonder what to write. I don't want to put myself there as I am still working my way. This is one woman who inspires me the most. How she made her creative talent to rise above her physical imperfection. Hope we inherit atleast ten percent of her courage to fight against the odds.
Lovely tribute to Frida! Thank you for bringing your own inspiration from her into this prompt!
