Italia Poem by Alisha Charles

Take me to Italia
On the fastest aereo
I wanna see the luci brillante
And feel l'aria fresca e frizzante

I wanna go to Roma
And see il Colosseo
Or maybe even il forum romano
That great piece of storia

Take me to the ponte di Rialto
Where I can ride on a gondola
I wanna experience the life of Venezia
The life out on l'acqua

I wanna taste a gelato
Maybe a tiramisu too
Most especially caffe italiano
And maybe Limoncello too

And when I've experienced it all
And have seen la torre della pizza
I will return with un'anima italiana
And a smile made of oro italiano
