Tinker, tanker, doctor, spy.
He's the one man I truely admire.
In all things his knowledge does tie.
His passion for truth was a fire.
He understood the human body,
When most doctors were horrific.
His views were seen to be naughty,
Because they were indeed scientific.
A true visionary of his time,
The epitome of Renaissance man.
I can tell you he wasn't a lime.
See his work, yes you still can.
My one true scientific love,
With who could my infatuation be?
This man is deinitly a cut above,
And no other than the great Da Vinci.
Author notes
Credit where credit is due: the first line of my poem is none other than the title of an episode of Star Trek Voyager. But it was fiting.

thank you, i do have a bit of a problem with rhythm usualy, but i'm working on it. i know it doesn't sound right, but the only way that i've found to fix my rhythm would screw up my rhyme skeem, oh well. maybe i'll be able to fix it one of these day

Thank you for this interesting entry in my contest. It was interesting to see the differences between your poem and that one I just read about Leonardo Da Vinci.
You have done the rhymingwell, but the meter still need some work. I stumbled at some lines, e.g. the 7th because of the rhythm. That that could be changed with some effort. Not a huge thing though, it's not like it's horrible or something...
(deinitly -> definitely)
Thanks again for entering and good luck!
Keep writing!
