MONA LISA - I painted him

Mona Lisa, The Enigmatic Masterpiece

 

Her sweet enigmatic smile

Clear understanding defies

For no sooner upon it one pries

It seems to rub off in a sly.

 

Her identity too remains an unresolved puzzle

Forcing experts and connoisseurs into a huddle,

To establish her identity as to who she really was

Or to simply say, ‘to winnow the wheat from the chaff. '

 

But nothing can stop Mona Liza from smiling

For she has been for long our concerted efforts thwarting -

I suspect, that besides the smile it was an artist's masterstroke

To keep her identity too veiled under a cloud of smoke.
