Mona Lisa
by Brenda M. Weber
Behind kaleidoscopic eyes
There’s no mystery there that lies.
She’s the one to see it all
From her position on the wall.
We look for something in her smile.
We stand to study her awhile.
Her face of beaut y that we seek.
What would she say if she could speak?
Is her beauty, oh, so rare?
Was Mona just a maiden fair?
Is she a mirro r image of me?
Is that what I’m supposed to see?
Mona’s portrait on the wall —
A combination of us all.
There’s a touch of someone there
In the beauty of her hair.
That hint of prism in her eyes
Makes her appear to be so wise.
The playful curvature of her lip
On her cheeks can dance a quip.
She’s beauty this Mona Lisa
But so is the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
What is the mystery there that lies
Behind kaleidoscopic eyes…?
B. Answer the questions.
1) In the situation described in the poem where is the poet and what can she see around her?
2) Whose are the “kaleidoscopic eyes”?
3) How do you understand the line “Mona’s portrait on the wall — a combination of us all”?
4) Why does the poet first say that there is no mystery behind Mona Lisa’s eyes but finishes the poem by asking “What is the mystery there…?”
5) Why do people create art?

Ответ
- The poet is in front of Mona Lisa’s portrait, probably in a museum or gallery. She can see the painting on the wall and the people who are looking at it.
- The “kaleidoscopic eyes” are Mona Lisa’s eyes.
- It means that Mona Lisa’s portrait reflects features and feelings of many people, so everyone can see something of themselves in her image.
- At first the poet says there is no mystery because she thinks Mona Lisa is just a beautiful portrait. At the end she asks about the mystery again because the painting still makes people think and search for a deeper meaning.
- People create art to express feelings and ideas, to show beauty, and to make others think, feel, and understand the world better.
