Poetry
Italia
By kitten_princess
04 December 2005

Autumn 2005.

With some current (and former) Latin scholars from school, I went to Italy. We saw old and new places in Rome, Sorrento, Pompeii, Herculaneum. It was a great place, so magical. It felt so much longer than 5 days.


Magic fountains
Living mountains
What a trip.
Roma, Dolmio's hom-a.

"Would you like a wink with your pizza?"
Grazie... run away!

Another sultry day with the
Roman men, which bled into
A caffeine-driven night with
Classically good company.

I remember so clearly
The violence of those Italian sunsets
Whipped with the soft ice cream clouds
I managed to take a few home with me
Without having to explain too much to Customs.

Like any good woman, she
Tempted me, begged me to
Stay for just one more night.
I said: "All love affairs must end sometime
And my plane leaves tomorrow.
Ciao, bella."

Mi piace molto le linea finalmente: I love Italy also - especially the Italian people. I must write a poem about Italy because I have such fond memories of the holidays we have had there, most of which have been in Como. Mainly the "soft ice cream clouds" have signalled heavy rain in a mountainous area such as Como, and we have seen some really spectacular storms, heavy rain and flooding. Don't book your holiday at the same time as us, ha ha.
