Mona Lisa Could See 2 of 2

Drop picture till six The land like Pokémon kills Nearing a tornado’s kiss? Lift picture to three The earth seems a lot different And looks extreme wilderness! Turn picture upward Rapid rivers dash inward Floods hit mountains and stumble! See Ottoman cries! Its history in Palestine Breaks loudly a hurting cry! Until the see twirls Syrian shores to Lake Err! In one tsunami fits in! Turn picture around Look at it from the back side Night time is facing big sigh! Walk around clockwise Walk around counter clock’s wise What’s the difference at bright? Look carefully at While standing behind that Her shoulders and her two arms South America? Thirst for the Atlantic’s tap See a side face that had trapped? Is there another mountain? Leaking black gas surrounding Happy carnival, walking? See the dancing sleeves? While wild fire nears the streets On her leaning arm as seen? The plate is moving! South America swimming? The south is wetting valleys! Would waters sink in? Reaching Amazon’s region From the forest’s province? Incline her to three See volcano born from sea? Crafting her right cheek’s sad fear? Is it Gibraltar? Suddenly speaks, spreads horror Causing Mona Lisa’s shock? Tilt her down to six See Morocco’s beaches quick? Nearing the west in a blink? Or causing that lint To near Africa’s dark flint? Marrying mounts in a blink? Prop to quarter till Watch! The height of the waves bring Over Mona’s head curving! Prop her upward to See again what had done to See fire rocks drop next to! Is she hugging babe? Alive or faint but looks dead? Leaning on her charm screen scared? She’s holding a rose! Or holding one stem of corn? Looks like child’s hand overall! Near a villager’s Boat on top of the mountain Does sail or drifts to go float? But, a pyramid More likely to look amid Mountain tops and gardens’ bits! Spin picture right this Minute, a serpent showing Behind two wed couples’ kiss! Aruba under Her nose moving to northeast Survives a great flood beneath! Walk ahead the screen See Mona is still weeping For two thousand twelve... searching! By: Nadia F. Shahwan – April 2009. Note: This is an innocent discovery to analyze the beauty of the famous Mona Lisa by Van Gogh.
