Ode To Leonardo Da Vinci Poem by Earnest Gatuma

Venit vidit et vicit,
Credible record unlike Shakespeare's quasi,
Renaissance instigator,
Immortality would have had it on a pizzeria,
Gifted mind and hands,
So much for a polymath,
The anatomy father,
Enchanted arts created by a life breather,
Holy Grail bestower,
Mary Magdalene truth slayer,
Competent adversary to Michelangelo,
Patents of vessels beyond a time's go,
Scythed chariot's mercy is on the seat,
'Repent! ' gestures Saint John the Baptist,
Pentagram for each Pentateuch knight,
Cashmere on Monalisa at Uranus?
Subtle grin contesting the archives,
Vatican walls embossed to a divine canvas,
Turpentine oil masterly inspiring many lives,
No epitaph affirms your greater past,
But an address to your works,
For you still breathe in your arts.
