Monalisa Footle

              veiled grin  
              truths thin  

             still air  
             lost stare  

             eyes drift  
             time shift  

             words none  
            gaze won  

             dusk face  
             no trace  

           hands stay  
             midway  

           thought locked  
          heart blocked

Indeed a lovely set of footles. Your description matches so well with Mona Lisa. I had the fortune to visit the Louvre Museum in Paris during our trip to Europe in 2024. Congratulations on your win, dear Jcb. Brul.

Dear JCB, your ink is stunning in its simplicity and depth. Each couplet feels like a held breath-so much unsaid, yet everything felt. The pauses, the drifting, the blocked heart, it’s all so quietly powerful. Minimalist poetry like this lets me fill the silences with their own ache. I love your stillness and your honest, veiled emotions. Spring Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Interesting! I can see you standing in Paris at the Louvre looking through the glass at her smile! I found I liked her. Nice footle!
