Notes About The Poem

For Nette's Memento contest.  I was touring Italy when the World Trade Center was attacked.  I was in Venice a few days after 9-11.

Masks and Gondolas

I couldn't afford gondolas,
So I bought Carnivale masks-
Venice!

Wish I had been there for Carnivale. I was there just after their regatta, just after 911. Bought some pretty masks which are currently by my bookshelves, and a piece or two of Murano chrystal. Thanks for commenting.
