What can we see about Venice? where Byron had a swim in the Grand Canal, where Vivaldi wrote his Four Seasons, where Casanova chased his luscious Italian ladies, where Shylock made his bargains on the Rialto bridge, Venezia is still the most beautiful city in the world and she opens her legs every night, benisssimo!
Venice
Venice will win your heart
It's a work of art, Raphael,Titian, Canaletto
a beautiful flower, a Venetian rose cart
a delicious ice-cream, a gellato
a sweet liqueur, an amaretto, a limoncello
Someone below coming towards you
The Bridge of Sighs, a man for all seasons
I'll be your gondolier, if you'll let me, signora,
winter, summer, spring and fall.
Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
A further collection of poems, many from years in the Middle East, but also the California San Francisco and Central Coast areas (Santa Cruz, Carmel, Big Sur, Berkeley, etc.).
