He met the smile
of Mona Lisa

Hello, Michael,

This was a bit of fun.  Originally started as a casual lover of art looking at the beauty - but somehow, he went too far!  :)

Thank you so much!

Hello, Geezer,

Studying images of the Mona Lisa, the poem just kinda wrote itself.

Thank you, as always!
