Analysis of Painting a Picture
Adesola John Fagbemi 1982 (Lagos)
Painting a picture is funny
water on the road is likely
never can separate
like making a twin date
the start from finish
weighing up the hawkish
from low-high of milligram
like the game
of head and tail
never to see to derail
yellow pitched with blue
is the ghost green glue
all of the mind
when the picture is amended
the sea bigger than the moon
the moon is set near the sun.
