1 A. Listen to the poem and then read it.
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?
