Tribute to Tuscany
In old Tuscany, this form of poetry
To stimulate the imagination’s muse,
Has been passed down through every century,
To all writers whom the written words enthuse.
Even yet today, some vineyard covered hill,
Hung with clustered grapes, romantic souls instill
With a deep desire to try their hand once more
And resurrect a page from history’s lore!
