Riddle, Riddle the Man is in the Middle by Jose Sison Luzadas

Of the thirteen paintings by Renaissance masters, NOLI ME TANGERE is considered the best in the same genre, surpassing the work of Rubens, Carravaggio and Titian. The painter’s name, unfortunately, is not Jose Rizal but Correggio.



My new haiku attempts. The first six were submitted for the forthcoming issue of The Heron's Nest.
