Genoa By Night

Genoa by night Meandering streams of light Like wisps of smoke Wrap themselves on the hills Of the dormant city, Sliding towards the sea. Genoa beautiful appears By night too Almost as awaiting For the new day Silently. Genova di notte (italian version) Rivoli di luce tortuosi Come volute di fumo Si avvolgono sulle colline Della città addormentata, Scendendo verso il mare. Genova bella mi appare Anche di notte Quasi attendesse Il nuovo giorno Silenziosa.

Thank you, Linda. A long time has elapsed before I could answer, but I was really busy, meanwhile. It is always good to hear from you :-))

Charmaine, you are welcome in my city, which is not beautyful as the ones you visited, but still worth to be seen. Where I live with my wife there are good panoramas both during daylight and overnight! I am going to visit you now...

Hello Mario, I'm here to read and look at your poem again. Somehow I am drawn to your poetry and new friendship. I stand still before the imagery in your words. Theirs nothing better Bette than the night entering into the dawn of silence... LINDA
