CIAO BELLA ...
Bella is leaving,
Bella wants to depart,
no longer enjoys to be here ...
Bella adores heat,
but is already tired,
maybe got tired of me ...
Bella wants pizza ...?
Bella wants
the tower of Pisa ...
Bella misses
her lambretta,
romane vacanze
other romance ...
Dolce vita ... anema e cuore ...
Rome, Torino, Firenze ...
So sad,
Bella wants to leave ...
O Bella, tI prego!
If you are leaving,
I'll leave with you ... Because
live without you...
Living senza di te
I cannot stand..

OBSERVATION
Every town
I mean town or city
Has one
And it aint pretty
There’s this old, red brick building
Nothin on either side
No place for a dealer or his junky to hide
Hell no!
This wreck’s been boarded-up for years
Everything all round’s been torn down
Once in a while some truck’ll bump passed
Along a street what’s seen its last
Pavin when “Toots” Mazzini was gassed
No! This dump is isolated
Few pass by
I’m lookin cause I live in a junk torino nearby
Well, so what?
So. Gottta scratch my head about the damn AD
Freshly painted each year
On side ‘o this pile ‘o old read brick
BAD!
“HAVE A COKE”

Luminescence reigns down on me
Trajectories will hit and miss
What lies within the vast abyss
The stars that form our galaxy
Amazing from their birth to death
Such brilliant sights can take your breath
Cosmic debris just floating free
Apophis, a collision course
An asteroid feels no remorse
Torino scale, the chance will be
Predictions aren't always right
Ponder what's in the Hubble's sight
Astronomers just wait to see
Then warn us of impending fate
Perhaps then it will be too late
The Constanza, created by Connie Marcum Wong, consists of five or more 3-line stanzas.
Each
line has a set meter of eight syllables. The first lines of all the stanzas can be read
successively as an
independent poem, with the rest of the poem weaved in to express a deeper meaning. The
first lines
convey a theme written in monorhyme, while the second and third lines of each stanza
rhyme together.
Rhyme scheme: a/b/b, a/c/c, a/d/d, a/e/e, a/f/f.........etc.
