'Mona Lisa Frowns' Poem by King Femi Oloidi

'Mona Lisa Frowns'

Rating: 4.9


No darkness, drabness or sadness; could ever depress or compress Mona Lisa's rainbow smile.
Because, Mona Lisa has the most expensive smile on planet earth and planet smile.

But now,
when Mona Lisa is been tickled from teeth to toe, her smile; gladly frowns, because of the bitter catastrophe the world is frowning and groaning through.

All though, she is protected in the most secured museum, to hide her away from being kidnapped by Sandy hurricane, or get consumed by the worlds tribulations.

And she is also been auctioned for over a hundred million dollars; just to make sure; that the rainbow smile remains on her Florence face, but her smile; still frowns.
Because she is constantly waiting for the day, the earth shall sue the heaven's to court; for striking down the unwanted fallen angel to earth, and causing unfriendly hurricanes and numerous deserters, to sip away her loved ones, that sweat; just to appreciate her mistic smile.

They polish so hard; to hide Mona Lisa; behind a fat smile, so as to put her fat frown to sleep.
But her frown still tip-toes on relay; whispering through the colours of her original breathing beauty.
Which sails in an emotion of muse; and dances around inspiration, love, hurt, power, temper, creativity, wealth, betrayal, lessons, and wisdom.

And even at midnight, when sight and light starts to shrink; this inks up her memories and mocks the regalia of her smile, with transcending frowning echoes.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I wrote this poem, because; right from when I was a child, I kept looking at the painting, Mona Lisa smile, and all people talk about is her smile, and they forget to talk about the other side of her life. eg like: was she a happy person? How was her love life? Was she a friendly lady? Did she like kids, like a true mother should? Was she a good student? Did she like sex? Lol. Did she drink, smoke, weed, or do drugs, etc. So all this made me to come up with this poem; 'Mona Lisa Frowns'. Just to paint my own poetic picture of her. Enjoy.
