Flung in art pastel colors distance
Drawing things turning yes drawing
Canvas castello engaged and printing designing lonely leveling
schematic writings
And a paintings on the wall so alluring
Taking a photograph from out of my heart
Hand over hand meeting knots
That designing demonstration designing demonstration
Picture perfect murals
Dormant drawings
Charcoal tempura paint drawings
Graffiti pictures spray painted building walls
Designing demonstrations distance complications
Foreign warrant pictures
Drawings and paintings unimaginable
Passive pass pastel colored drawings dawning

Walking in Milano
On a guided city tour,
I wasn't really certain
What delights would be in store:
A castle (or castello)
Which displayed, as quite a perk,
An unusual Pieta,
Michelangelo's last work.
A massive carved cathedral
And a mall with fancy shops
Filled with Prada and Armani
(Not my normal browsing stops)
And a modern art museum
With some wonderful displays,
Such a pleasure to encounter -
Worthy of a tourist's praise.
But let's not forget the topic
That's inspired this day's rhyme -
Yes, of course I had gelato
With 3 flavors at this time.
Hazelnut ('cause that's a given)
And pistachio to boot
With red raspberry I added
Just to try a little fruit.
When I think of this vacation
I will fondly look on back
With gelato as my guidepost,
Keeping memories on track.
