Moaning Mona

Moaning Mona Oh! Oh! Oh no, moaning & complaining; her draping archaic. Drop a little off the shoulder, Mona, baby. Show a bit of cleavage. Best to smile and wink, to stay abreast with modern society. Mona, don’t grow cold. Keep your clothes on. Save the nudes for someone else. You’re only good when you follow us- your dark eyes kept safe behind glass. Don’t be mad, Mona, your just a common figure in history, a class act, not suited to get between satin sheets. Your mud-pool irises and hair match- same dye for both, Mona dear? Your alabaster skin pale as moonlight. Your handsome hands- Leonardo found them enticing. So do we as we admire your sleeves. Stay grounded, Mona… Complaining and moaning- oh no! Here we go again! Oh…oh… Moaning Mona. 4/13/2023

Such a hint of sensuousness for Mona Lisa; what a terrific poem you have created! I am sure she is blushing as she reads this tribute.

Well done, Kim; trying to think if I have ever seen the original? Maybe at the New York Museum of Art. Anyway, she deserves her place in history, for just have posed so long. Blessings my friend.

I saw the painting at The Louvre in Paris. She is small but I liked her.

Well, I guess even Mona Lisa has to adjust a bit to, ahem, 'the times.' :) gw

I watched an educational show once about restoring the Mona Lisa and other old classics. Fascinating stuff. They used lacquer based paints and over time it begins to fracture . They have to remove each tiny piece individually. Really cool! A very cool poem, Kim. A good read.

Some say that the Mona Lisa is actually Leonardo himself posing as a woman. So the trick is on us. LOL..I keep wondering if it might be true. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Sara
