Up To You Contest Entry Sponsoed by Brian Strand

 

 

She is another man's property Forbidden perhaps to pose for such an artist A mirage of a slow smile on her face Some see smirk somber sliver sly seduction Sandy shadows personify her presence Did you see in her encore eyes Dreams deferred decorated delivered In a decidedly departed deja vu? Hidden in brave denial The remainder of her doting smile Traced enhanced romanced by his hands Attentive artistry of bleak bronze hues Captures light behind enchanting eyes Maybe she carries a child Painting in her womb by her lovers brush Swelling hearts baptizing minds As the only work of art she will treasure For it is so very personal Love lights Mona Lisa's darkest daze Painted passion lives in an impression A hint of a smile Least the secret be told too loud. *This poem is about the Mona Lisa painting.

Dear Karen, I adore your poetic style and enchanting creative interplay of words in your rich, expressive verse. I especially loved "Hidden in brave denial/The remainder of her doting smile" - nice little bit of assonance there. Your imageries are inventive and alluring "Maybe she carries a child/ Painting in her womb by her lovers brush" - wow! Your finale is superb as you bring to life Mona Lisa's somber yet beautiful persona. Congratulations for your win in Brian's contest. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
