Notes About The Poem

Monalisa Footle

soft smile
long while

her gaze
gained praise

mystique
physique

svelte pose
like rose

splendour
longed-for

oh, yes
timeless

Notes: The Mona Lisa is an oil painting by Italian artist, inventor, and writer Leonardo da Vinci. Likely completed in 1506, the piece features a portrait of a seated woman set against an imaginary landscape.

In addition to being one of the most famous paintings, it is also the most valuable. Permanently located in the Louvre Museum, it is estimated to be worth an impressive $800 million today. (credits: mymodernmet.com)
