The Art Thief

He met the smile
of Mona Lisa

although elusive,
there was no doubt

she had him at hello

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!

I felt...

that the brevity added to the story. All said in a nutshell; I got the feel of the whole scenario, with just these few lines. ~ Geez.

Hello, Geezer,

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

Thank you, as always!
