7. nice…i really like the middle one…her expression as music ont he canvas…and the mariachi…very visual to me….very cool….

   • Thank you. there are so much untapped inspiration in art. And writing a haiku biographies could be something to develop further.

8. You know, I think you’re probably right: It was the mariachi music within that gave Frida the inspiration to paint as she did.

   • If not the music so at leas the passion symbolized by mariachi.

11. Wow! I never thought about that before. She painted with so much passion, perhaps it WAS her immobility that drew out her art! Great poem.. I found you on dVerse where I posted a ‘non-haiku’ poem.

    • As she started to paint after her accident, I’m pretty sure it was related to contained passion.

      • Passion which obviously spilled out on canvas!
