My First Time
It took me by surprise
I had not prepared for it at all
I gawked and stared consuming all
It was so heavenly, so original, so dazzling
The sight was simply breathtaking
What lay before me was a real masterpiece
Da Vinci would have indeed felt challenged
Its beauty was captivating in every sense
I felt the breath escape my lungs
And my mouth opened wide to take all
My eyes did not blink even for a second
For if I did something would have escaped me
No. I was not taking any chance
Even Van Gogh would feel threatened
Then I made a choice
That I would have it just for myself
For if someone else saw it
A fight might occur
And losing was out of the question

I like making people happy and one of the ways is by writing poetry, short stories and other articles that will enlighten. I believe that words can either heal or hurt. I hope my writing will heal and put a smile on someone's face.

What an amazing piece. Describing work of art? I would really like to see who that is who would make Leonardo feel Challenged.
Keep up the spirit. Your descriptive skills are in a class of its own, your language simple to understand, memorise and internalize. You have a poetic grip which, like the work that would make Leonardo feel challenged, gurus like Everett Standa would be scared.
You go girl.
