Ah! Italia! Poem by Eugene Levich

Ah! Italia!

Rating: 5.0


Ah! Italia
Land of Vino
Gina Lollobrigida
Sunshine
Pasta
Sophia Loren-


A true heaven!

How to describe that country?
Its spirit?
Only Dante can
In the Divine Comedy
Canto one-thirty-one:
'When-a da moon
Hits-a your eye
Like-a big-a Pizza pie,
That's amore! '
A true heaven!
(Apologies to Dean Martin!)
'Everything you see I owe to spaghetti'
Said 'The Most Beautiful Woman in the World'
In her book: 'Sophia Loren on Beauty'
You should eat it 'al dente! '
Ah! Italia!
A true heaven!

Ah Italia, this wonderful poem demonstrates that poetry can be fun and entertaining, not always sad and sentimental and wine-ning. So lets take a copa de vino and offer a toast to this Poet's good health

This is Magnifico! ! ! I enjoyed every word A Country, summarized in a wonderful, charming, simpatico poem. Never read anything like it, Oh, excuse, my Spaghetti Pot Boileth over, I must go, , , , ,
