Painted picture of the mind of man,
everything in it's place,
reality,
skewed,
internal thoughts expressed externally,
stuck on canvas,
tentatively,
etched,
nothing what it seems to be,
careful,
exact.
Old ideas with new ideals,
firmly placed.
My mind hurts to look upon it,
escapism barred,
memory,
overtaken,
remembered,
youth.

Thanks for the comment Michael.

Very well done, I think this poem could describe many of Dali's works, the reference to memory and youth ties it to this picture because of the 'clocks' and the 'time' aspect and that works very well, but the overall surrealism could be relevant to many of his works and also maybe his mind!
Well done, and good luck. I have an aunty from Worcester by the way. If you see her tell her I hated kissing that moustache.
