NaPoWriMo 2024 day 2

Pen on top of an open book

Day 2 of NaPoWriMo.

My poem

A sonnet I wrote for my girl when she traveled to Italy. I finished it up today.

Roam in Italy

A trip to the cathedral in Milan
Later to lake Como for a swim
Visit Venice just for parmesan
Cameras out to capture sites on film

Stop to eat when Mama Tummy grumbles
Grab a pizza, food used to appease her
Drinking wine from wooden covered tunnels
Second time in Europe since Ibiza

Train ride to Almalfi for some cooking
Gondola ride to see the home girl Florence
Climb a thousand stairs? A major footing
Rush back to the airport before boarding

A country warm enough to call my home
Guess when you go to Italy, you go to roam/Rome

Featured poem

I stumbled upon this light verse while I was traversing the web.

Fair Do's

by Julia Griffin

Sabrina and her sister Vanity
Form two models for humanity.
Sitting by her glassy wave,
Cool Sabrina likes to save;
Hot upon the newest trend,
Vanity cries: “Spend, spend, spend!”
While Sabrina’s amber’s dropping,
Vanity imagines shopping,
Eyeing, through the silver foam,
Quite a classy golden comb.
When you need a faithful friend,
Pick Sabrina: in the end
That wise virgin is the one;
Meanwhile, Van’s a bit more fun.
