A man from the north met a woman from the east
Upon their way to Lorenzo’s fine home
For there that night the best came together to feast
And she held in her hand a golden comb

He had in his case the tools of the artist’s trade
Oils and pigments, brushes and panels
Upon a silk pillow the girls head would be laid
And the art produced would spark the scandals

Lorenzo the Magnificent watched from his chair
While artist eyes caressed her sleek body
She would lightly sweat in the hearth fire warmed air
While others discussed their new prosody.

In a private collection the painting will sit
No patron would buy it for his own house
But many will ask for the name of the woman
Who permit the painting despite her spouse.



Lorenzo the Magnificent was a historical figure famed in art history for propelling the renasaunce by wielding imense social power to protect artists from herasy charges, and by building a 12 block palace in which he gathered the best and the brighest artists, philosophers, mathematisions, and schollers. the point of all this being that they could then comunicate and discuss their work, speeding up the development of art exponensialy. he also maintained the first ublic librairy to be built in centuries (built by his father.) his proper name was Lorenzo Medicci

heh, sorry about that, writing that one i was paying more attention to my meter than to my typeing... if you notice it's alternating hexameter and pentamiter. i generaly work within a range of one above or one below tetrameter which is my personal favorite.
