Best Leonardo Poems

LEONARDO

Animals running and hiding with fear.

Diurnal in his grassland habitat, he is protector
Of his pride,...

For ten years his paint brushes danced to the motion
of his hands on a white Lombardy poplar panel,
creating inimitable effects with the image he created –
Yes! Of one Lisa Gherardini, wife of a nobleman,

A war between David and Monalisa,
Continued even after Last supper and Last Judgment,
The two great Renaissance men – Leanardo Da Vinci and Michelangelo 
The creators of murals also the heroes of  healthy quarrels,
The men who knew the values of art,
I wonder! why they failed...

So today no one...

The inhabitants of this planet with sketches of the future!

Even though your parents never married each other
You still exposed the beauty of...

The famous portrait of Mona Lisa
globally known like Mother Thersa

Her pose so perfect, not a hair out of place, 
a hint of a smile I see on her face

A touch of cleavage painted for view,
as if she’s been painted to draw me to you

White porcelain...
