Aithō

Neville

 

Aithō

 

Blood orange bleeds yet sweetly

Dying mountain snow

Whilst Mount Etna’s lips do glow

      Sunset (or rise) seen from a mountain comes to my mind after viewing these few haunting lines. A dream of a read................... Fay

        Thank you Fay... yes.. watching Mount Etna, less often referred to as Aitho erupting above the orange groves provided the inspiration for this tiddler..... Neville

        • Fay Slimm.

          Tiddler it most certainly isn't - a grand demonstration of poetic ability it is.............x

          Neville,

          Mount Etna is a wondrous site
          as are those blood orange groves!
          A great nostalgic read!
          It brought me back to Sicily...
          for a moment!
          Thank you for sharing!

          ~Laura~

                An enticing curious piece Neville

                  A thought it was about a quite but active volcano, which gives the appearance of a crown on top of the snowy mountain. If so,
                  I really enjoyed the scenic journey

                  • Neville

                    she is a very active volcano, and there are orange groves below ... I was there when she last last had a big eruption.. thank you for considering these words.... Neville

                    • Neville
