he paints on all her clothes,
for she had none all the while -
as in the nude she really posed,
wearing just her smile!
[for Anna Russell,
as my reply to her comment at 'The Scream (explained) ' ]

Happy 500th Birthday, La Gioconda!
Mr. Audette, Beautiful, simple, and provocative poem. I love it.
Fan-bloody-tastic! Short and sweet - definitely clears up one of lifes great mysteries.10, naturally. Now, for your next assignment: who killed JFK, did they really land on the moon, who was Jack the Ripper, oh, and, does God exist? Shouldn't take you long! Thanks for the great big smile on my face. Big hugs Anna xxx
Gooood one, Chuck - another painting I'll never look at the same way again! (I just knew that little smile was hiding the naked truth...!)
Now thats good stuff.....kinda reminds me of one I wrote, , , the 'Preachers Message'-a mind is a terrible thing to waste
Chuck, It is good to have an active ' fantasy life ', ... as long as you know the difference. B.V.A.
Did you happen to see the movie Mona Lisa Smile? Imposing. You might like it.
Provocative in all it's simplicity, another wonderful observation, I think you have a point! I applaud you on this one. Still smiling :) Justine

Excellent! I loved it! I always wondered about that little smile of hers... now I can imagine why it looks so ornery! Warmest regards and respect, CJ
