Note Di Mezza Estate

[Alexander III]

Who is better Dante or Petrarch ?

[PrinceMyshkin]

Like a sudden blast of sunlight after a cloud-covered sky!

[hack]

I like the notational cadence.
It is like a real estate agent,
or perhaps a landscape designer
taking stock of a most remarkable
detail, without manifesting any
real sense of wonder.

[Alexander III]

Thank you both, hack that is an intriguing view, very intriguing indeed !

[tailor STATELY]

Most charming.

I've recently been toying (starting and floundering) with the idea of a poetry study on 'The Naked Ladies' of Twickenham. I discovered them researching something else (Amaryllis) and the images stuck with me because Twickenham is the birthplace of my Mother. Alas, I've never been across the pond to see them myself, and to date my Mother hasn't emailed me back on any recollections she might have had before/during/after the blitz, and subsequent frequent visits 'home'.

I'll keep in mind your wonderful poem to spur me on.

Sincerely,
tailor STATELY

Thanks Stately, I shall have to google that place you mention as it sounds interesting

[Bar22do]

I must love this poem at least for two reasons:
it's so deliciously plunging one in plush and in lightness;
it's easily accessible to me, because modern...

but I love it tout court, because it's a real poetic craft!

thanks AIII, be well,

Bar

[Buh4Bee]

I agree Bar!

[One Gallant]

...blushing like little white kisses

A stand-out in a nice concise piece.

Thanks Bar, Jersea and One Gallant, feel free to say what you don't like or critique it, I want to see how it can be improved
