Michelangelo Buonarroti
at thirteen
pen to paper drawings
showed great talent
and as an apprentice he acquired
basic fresco skills
he studied space
and the human body anatomy
he was poor
but brimming with energy
and ambition
and was introduced to poetry
and wrote poetry also
he loved carving
bringing life to his sculptures
I adore his Pieta
no corpse could be
more life like
it is said
reliefs on wood
the Sistine chapel
frescos
tomb carvings
oh, the last judgment divine
and so much more
Michelangelo
died
weeks before
his 89th birthday
and is buried in
his home town
of Florence
that was his wish
