Venice

To visit Venice such an event
a dream so often wished to come true
but for one full whole glorious day
this became a living reality to view

Having read about this city so often
surrounded fully by water all around
transported by boats around it's edge
mighty experience makes one astound

To stand on St Marks square
so difficult to take it all in
all tongues and people fills the place
a privelige not for everybody to win

Look at the architecture so wow!
amazing craftmanship for to behold
what gifts bestowed on such magnifence
eyes must see for tongues can't be told

A day in one's life forever remembered
the day in the wonderful Venice
it leaves one fully speechless
such beauty! deserves one long kiss!

(Having spent a wonderful day in Venice when on holiday in Italy)

Hello Gordon, It is a great city. Your tribute to Venice is another fine read. I hope the Italians have figured out the engineering required to preserve that magnificent city from sinking + recurring flood destruction. Sincerest regards, Brian
