Under Florentine sunsets, once home to maestros and Pope's, Ruled Medicis shallow ego, carved in marble from impassioned breasts, A Renaissance of heart creating visions of Man's Hope's, Donatelli, DaVinci, Michaelangelo some of life's royal guests. Each masterpiece a harlequin of dreams, unveiled before our eyes, That dance skyward in gardens of angels, God's basilicas in bloom, Creations unparalleled under Firenze's scaffolded skies, Depicting the heavens above, below the depths of Man's ruins. Sculptured from God's own hands each master breathes fire, Immortality emblazoned reaching untouched minds and hearts, Their spirits soaring the gothic dome Brunelleschi inspired, Giotto's bell tower pealing, in crypts eternal maestros departed, The seven hills of Rome embellished where the Vatican resides, Visionary gifts to man, bestowed a world of beauty endowed , Where the Sistine chapel rises in the cloudless dome vaulted skies, Each work flawless in presence of breathless centuries renowned, A world without maestros is like a world without pain, The more that you feel it, the more from life you gain, Embrace the richness of Time, see their souls in their art, Feel the warmth of their love embodied in their hearts.

Daniel, your imagery and creation of poetic phrases is really quite wonderful and awesome! This is a wonderful take on the contest theme. I especially like the verse that starts "a world without maestros" and "harlequin of dreams" as you talk about the Sistine chapel and the Italian masters. Your poetic ability is truly on full display in your poem. Best wishes for a win. This is a fav for me. Blessings of spring joy to you!

this is an amazing poem filled with wonderfully descriptive imagery and hints of information (Sistine Chapel, Giotto's bell). Each example illustrates and adds significance to your statement in your last verse. Such wisdom in that last verse. I have to fave this one. Am also printing a copy to save. Your words resonated with me. Have a blessed day, Sara

Hi Sara, I'm so pleased you enjoyed this poem, I do love Florence, there is something quite magical about it, it's probably for me, one of the most captivating places I have ever visited. Thank you once again . Danny

This is an awesome poem and filled with reverence. Sadly, there is an underbelly of greed and corruption that lies beneath the magnificent buildings and artwork. Have a great weekend Daniel
