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.

Mona Lisa

Mona Lisa in her gallery 
turns her ever lovin' smile on me.  
Subliminally, I 
hear, "I will keep me eye 
on you, boy; come see me next century."

Humble Olive Eloisa
Went one day to work in Pisa
She posed for awhile
Behind flashy smile
She stood in for Mona Lisa.

Beautiful lady with a secretive smile
Mysterious eyes darkly framed
Many an artist amazed by this style
Her beauty rare and unclaimed
No cold and lonely work of art

wonder what shes thinking
look into her soul

she is just a portrait
of a child striped of her innocence

Tweaking Mona Lisa

The last thing
you should ever want
is for a poet
to re-edit your verse
Better a robot
still better an ape
 if your words to survive
— and disperse

One 
proud and 
stoic glance 
astride wry smirks
from this Mona Lisa spitting image 
tutor at the blackboard chalk mark  debris 
caused by spurts of 
 bold impish

Premium Member Instructions To Da Vinci

If she does not look pretty you can forget your pay
Leonardo watched the patron keenly that day
She had better not look corpulent, make her look thin.
da Vinci knew now what a pickle he was in.

Swerve Ball

Interesting swerve ball move,
techno color thought an groove,
Mona Lisa in the Louvre,
Leonardo so salube,
In spirit he is prancing.

Desire

My love, what do you desire?
Pitter patter on my soul and pulling on my heart strings
You leave me desperate to please
Despondant when you are not satisfied with my work of art
My Mona Lisa brings you no joy

Premium Member Gw Smiles At Mona Lisa

That her smile's famous is simply dumb luck
So what if the art world is by it struck --
  Washington's smile's just the same
  His powdered wig's like a dame's --
And at least George's picture's worth a buck

Teresa

There was a young girl named Teresa
Who dressed up like the Mona Lisa
She looked like a queen
Her second name was green
And Oh’ how I loved to tease her

The man they called 'King' 
   On Chicago's South Side
With a voice smooth as silk
   Pearly teeth smiling wide

Hit after hit, from 'Mona Lisa'
   To 'Unforgettable'
Not a number one hit among them
   ~ Whites wary of his ghetto pull

Premium Member Mona Lisa

She sits composed
smiles a simple smile
and has us all intrigued

She mesmerizes
sees right through us
haunts us with her glance

There is no other portrait
quite so uniquely captivating
as Leonardo's Mona Lisa

Da Vinci’s art the Mona Lisa & The Last Supper,
subjects of mega conspiracy theories include the portrait of her
Kept anatomical sketches, lists of lexicon & syntax in a notebook
The Codex Trivulzianus is a manuscript worth a look

Mona Lisa

See the 
Mona Lisa,
now
reverse the 
flow.
Her
image
fading away.
In flows
through the
brush then
straight 
to the arm,
past neural 
pathways,
beaming
back to the
brain.
Chemicals
flow,
electricity sparks.
Poof, there she
goes
back to
infinity.

Premium Member Mona Lisa An Ekphrasis

Wistfully I sit,demure &pale
sorrow etched upon my brow.
Will my tomorrows echo
the sadness of my now...
Will the world come
to know my tale?

Store Which Was a Ma and Pa

Store Which Was A Ma and Pa

We went to store which was a ma and pa,
And while we were there found a big flaw;
Temptation fought;
Then picture bought;
Mona Lisa smiling while not wearing a bra.

Of course, it was not the original.
