I have seen the Monalisa and was actually shocked at how small it is. I thought it would be a huge painting taking up a wall. It's not. Anyway, I enjoyed reading your poem. Your poetry causes us to pause and think. That's a good thing.

The mind of the creative genius and it is a strange and wonderful thing. Not only have great artists created great works of art that have shaped culture and the human experience for centuries. Paintings are paintings and words are words. If everything could be said in words, there won't be any reason to paint. Thank you for your interesting.comments.

There is no doubt that this man, Leonardo da Vinci was a genius, with nobody of comparable skill to imitate him since, an artist, an inventor of prophetically generated perception, beautifully written, blessings Roy

Intriguing perspective on interpretations of art--point taken as regards notes--some people aren't moved at all--others have varied reactions--startling and jarring juxtapositions of words!

Wow, you created such a wonderful image about how we see the arts sometimes:"fools rush...see art raw
wink colour, flavour, life, times
they come, view, leave with
dark heaven, water words, but
wise find timeless art from raw" Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.

I'm simply amazed at the depth and character of your feeling behind the words you grasped raw emotion and twisted around Mona Lisa's face like a watercolor even though it's probably oil I can't quite get it what you're getting at but I get the gist of it

I imagine this is a kind of verbal reaction to the Mona Lisa. I doubt if it is capable of being 'understood' in the conventional meaning of that word. Since you have defined it as being restricted syllabically (5-7-5-7 -7) I cannot understand how it can be described as free verse. I imagine you are using a simple definition of free verse coined before the idea of syllabic poetry in English was mooted. Surely, the idea of freedom is to be unrestricted by a declared form.
I will award you five starsas anything less seems to unleash a violent reaction these days.

I like the mystery of this one. True lovers of art, like lovers of poetry, draw meaning from what I would call raw images and words. I think that I use the word "raw" slightly different from you, but I see much in the word and in your use of it.
Artists and poets convey ideas and the wise grasp them. The wise think about what is in front of them. This is what your poem says to me, and I appreciate the analogy. I suspect that you are one of the wise.
Nicely done.

Outside of art, this leaves me wondering what is the message that is trying to get across.
I did read that it is incomplete, so maybe that is it.
Good job

Interesting commentary on how we each perceive art differently. Our local artists guild sponsors a Double Vision contest whereby the artist takes a photograph and then reworks it as a painting, sculpture, mosaic, weaving, you name it. It is their most intriguing show.
