    Hmmm...I love Monalisa's smile, I even made a poem about that smile of her...so much mystery, and was left to remain a mystery!

    What does the second verse mean? I know the first word, it's Enigma, but the second word? What is it?

    Lovely work, and once again, quite the perfect interpretation of the prompt, as always.

    Her smile is quite the enigma. I have had the privilege of seeing Mona at the Louvre in Paris. A masterful enigma indeed.

    Thanks to:
    Jingle; Unsolved mystery.
    Tumblewords; I think the painting is more about the question(s) than the answer(s).
