Here we Come Italy, Here we Come! (a poem)
Sweet smell of pasta and pizza floating through the air
Mountains and valleys and tiny passages swarming through my hair
Cats and dogs running the fields
Hotel breakfasts, our favorite meals
Windsurfers and mountain bikers and candy in the lobby
Eating gelato is my favorite hobby
Sunsets and water and little girls jumping
People at tables dining on dumplings — gnocchi 🙂
Something about Italy strikes me so much
I just like saying I’ll miss you a bunch!
WAAC Away Awhile 
I love reading your poems. They are so great! What’s your favorite gelato flavor?

WHOA!!… ABELLY18…!! I had no idea that you were a “Poet-essa”… (that might be Italiano for “Girl-Poet-Writer-Person”… hmmmmm… probably not.)
In the picture you took of the town from up on the hill, it looks like there’s a whole bunch’a camping trailers… aka, Caravans… parked on both sides of the canal. LET’S BUY ONE AND LIVE THERE!! We’ll set up a food stand and sell to the touristas! You make the gelato… Amelia will make the gnocchi… La-La will make the pasta… Mama will be the pizza-maker-essa… I’ll be the Official Quality Control Taster Person… and dada will do the dishes. AND WE’LL HAVE A CAT!!… MAYBE TWO!! (La-La first wants to know if there’s any snow there…)
CIAO FOR NOW…!! xoxoxoxo
