Notes About The Poem

For Bite Size Contest N.142 Poetry Contest sponsored by Line Gauthier

My Mona Lisa

For centuries, she would be beguile
the whole world with her famous smile,
but I couldn't make her grin (or laugh) -
well, only just a half.

Yeah, she’s just so intriguing. no way to describe her smile. If your Mona Lisa is like her, how I envy you, Sir.

I can't believe I didn't see the real Mona Lisa in Paris when I had a chance. I heard the actual dimensions of the painting are very small. Hmm, I wonder what she was thinking?
