MONA LISA -5th place, 1st place

A smile, so deep like midnight sleep
There's secret hidden in her peep 
A painted face of mystery 
Crafted in guise of mastery 

Even the ancients did not know 
The meaning in her mystic glow 
Her amber spark, like deep sea gold 
Harbors a depth that was untold 

There's something in her dark-brown hair 
That casts a soft glow in the air 
But there's a thought that is worthwhile 
Even her two eyes wear a smile 

The real color of her skin 
Gives every mind a swirling spin 
The beauty cloaked in mystery 
Baffled the minds of history
