If Da Vinci Was on an Iceberg by James ZealyIf Davinci was on an iceberg
Where would inspiration fly
For the secretive Mona Lisa smile
Or would it say a Man's oil and no Salami
Who would create wings perpendicular
perpendicular to winged body flight
So man could deny natures gravity will
And How would the haunting Calamity
where the 12 save 1 Said a worshipful goodbye
Flow from his loving brush strokes
Or who would show
The true enlightenment
Of combining art and science
And when would we notice
The difference 02/11/2005

Posted by Alison McKenzie on 02/16/05 at 11:51 PM I agree with Andi - the ending line tied up any loose ends for me. For me, the way you tied the words into a somewhat cohesive (albeit angular)string of thoughts was quite genius. Impressive! |
