Lovely

How I would love to dance with you along the Naples bay,
And then escape towards our restaurant beyond the archway.
Listen, as they play love songs with gusto on the mandolin
As Peppinello prepares the dough which in a round form he'd spin.

Outside, a young lass dances with flare her tarantella.
And everyone shouts with glee "Give us more gracious Stella."
Meanwhile Peppinello always ready to cater for our taste
Suggested a Marguerita enough that would not go to waste.

And to counter the exquisite taste of our choice, a famous wine,
A red Oddero Barbera d’Alba, guaranteed to make a fine dine.
Satiated with our fine food we go for a short stroll.
The famous Castel dell'Ovo being our primary goal.

It is already deep night and on the sea stars shine bright.
Tired but happy we return to our hotel for the night.

Lovely title, a beautiful poem. I noticed you hadn't put any of your wonderful poetry on PS since 17/7, Victor. I am a little concerned that this may be due to health problems. If this is so, I trust you are receiving the care you need and are on the mend. Sending you blessings and best wishes. Take care, Shirley. Old Duck

Lovely is the perfect title for this gem, Victor. In my hometown my favorite restaurant is called "Taratella's" If you like Italian it's the best around...I'm not sure if they have Oddero Barbera d'Alba but I may have to ask the next time I go for a fine wine and dine. :)
