Tuscany.

By Buchan

30 June 2006

Remembering taly.

            Tuscany,your flavors as scents from far away hills
            Styles of food,wines in pageantry glasses of delight
            Italy,land of love,passions, and glorious wondering
            Women cooking,all around the love of beautiful living

             Cuisine prepared with loving hands and caring kindness
             Beautiful people , I am a traveling gourmet,feasting
             So in love with everything,the taste ,the sip,,the music
             A dream to my eternal soul,yet a reality of being

             Painters brushes,pictures of masterpiece delights
             My eyes see,with a heart and soul that feels clarity
             Sweet beauty in the morning light,bright happy evenings
             My love for you is in this day,this romance ,this Italy

              Boun Appetito !

Tuscany
Written by Josie (2796 comments posted) 1st July 2006

I love your poem, and the beautiful words of description. I have a friend from Italy here, and she was so pleased to read your lovely words about her country. She said, though, (I've not made this up) - that Tuscany is much like Yorkshire in appearance. Of course the food is not cooked in the same way, but she is cooking Italian for us, and we are teaching her English cooking - and guess what! The most popular English dish for every Italian I have ever had stay with me (and there have been many) is - - - - - - scones, with apple crumble as a close follow-up. They go back to Tuscany and make them for their families immediately. ha ha. I have a beautiful poem describing a holiday (a few years back) and I will post it for your opinion now. ha ha

A message from my Italian friend

I liked the poem very much, but I would like to know which part of Tuscany you have experienced because there are different parts of Tuscany. For example, north, south, east and west of Tuscany is different. Have you only visited Tuscany, or have you also visited other parts of Italy? Best wishes from a student from Udine.

Tuscany in technicolour

This was one of the most vivid and senuous poems I have read. You hardly needed that last line, your love for the place was obvious in every well chosen word. You packed so much into just a few lines with an exceptional gift for expression.. I will probably come back to it when I want a blast of Tuscany again
cheers

lovely connection

I like the connections you make with food, scents, and a love of life. certainly travel does make you feel as if you have a taste of everything. thanks for the memory.

Wonderful

Tuscany is not a place I've been, but now, by reading your poem I have travelled and have savoured its wonderous delights.

You have brought the place, the people and the feeling to vivid life. A truly superb piece of very atmospheric writing.

Fantastica (my Italian is dodgy!!)

well done...anyway!

best wishes
