Day 21 Italy Trip
We walked in Florence in the rain.
My new raincoat failed. I got wet.
Statue-filled piazza’s do reign.
The guide explained all through headset.
Ate lunch and back to the hotel.
I sat on the bed, almost fell.
I dried off and then took a nap.
Tomorrow, three spots on the map.
Day 20 Italy Trip
We left Rome on a big coach bus
St. Frances of Assisi crypt
The town was beautiful to us
It was a highlight of the trip
Siena’s hills and narrow streets
A challenge, had to stop for sweets
Piazza del Campo, the place
Of Palio, famous horse race

Day 19 Italy Trip
We took a train--Florence to Rome.
Of Roman ruins there’s no end.
Coliseum once had a dome.
Exciting to see ‘round each bend.
The nine-day tour begins tonight.
We’ll walk two hours in dim light.
We’ll rise early and board a bus,
I hope we make it with no fuss.
Day 18 of Italy Trip
Goodbye to the Write Away folks.
And we managed to catch a train.
We bumbled through and felt like jokes.
We made it to Rome safe and sane.
We found the hotel a bit late.
We scheduled a previous date.
A golf cart tour to see the sights
It got so dark, they turned on lights.
Day 17 of Italy trip
Today--last day of Write Away,
A bit of sadness in the air.
We all may wish that we could stay.
Oh, times like this are very rare!
We wrote and learned and shared and ate,
Walked through the automatic gate.
For writing we got such release.
Perhaps, we’ll meet again in Greece.
Day 16 of Italy Trip
Sis Judy stayed in bed today.
She has a cold and so do I.
May she complete this trip, I pray.
If she does not, I think I’ll cry.
Today I got some writing done.
I took a walk and that was fun.
Yes, Tuscany’s a pretty place.
But time, it seems, is in a race.
