She looks satisfied
with herself, with life
She looks out upon
the vast expanse of time
from her perch in the Louvre
She is He
She is a self-portrait of Leonardo
as his sister may have looked
had he been she
She, the long lost Italian Renaissance princess
the flavour of which today we may only understand
slightly if such glory given
She who needed much cajoling to
console the long lost Romantic heart
found in her beautiful and ample bosom
She clinging onto a past slight or
seducing coyly with eyes and smile lifting
to the skyline heavens
She is the invincible da Vinci!

ReplyDeleteIt's great when the world of art gets turned upside down, inside out ... love this!!!
ReplyDeleteImaginations gives a multitude of options for the reason behind this smile! :) And Caddoc has his own!!!
ReplyDelete'She is He'. I guess if he was his art and to us of course he was, that is true from the perspective of maintaining his fame.
ReplyDeleteFrom the gardens in Rome
ReplyDeleteTo Venice at home
Look around in Italian flair
You can feel romance in the air
We can lean on a building in Pisa
But we still cannot figure out the Mona Lisa
