Finally making my escape...
Finally they're swallowing my bait!
I said I needed to chill...
I said I wanted a hill!
I was dreaming of the seven hills...
Such an anticipation for my beloved hills!
To walk the seven hills of Rome...
That were once my childhood home!

CIAO LAURA ~ Benvenutia a MPS ~ Grazie per la tua prima poesia ! I love Italy and Rome especially "The Eternal City !" I was born in LIVERPOOL and always get a thrill when I go back ~ so I can empathise with your sentiments ~ Yours BRIAN (UK)
Grazie Brian! I was born near Rome...my parents emigrated to Australia when I was an infant. As an adult, I lived in California for a while...Rome is my love! I'll be there soon! Right now I'm in New York!

I felt compelled to re-visit these fine words again today as I contemplate my next long weekend in Rome ... and yes, they are just as fine as they were when I first called upon them.... Neville
Neville,
So glad you revisited my first posting! Thank you!
Your revisit made me realize my faux pas of not acknowledging the comments made by the poets who read and commented on the posting!
My first posting!
As a newcomer,
I didn’t realize the ins and outs of the MPS site!
A “long weekend in Rome” sounds delightful! Enjoy!
~Laura~
my pleasure... and yes.. I do like Rome.. although must confess,l I kinda prefer Florence....
You’re right about Florence!
I have an affinity for Rome for many reasons! I lived there for a few years...beautiful memories!
Hey how wonderful is that.. I kinda love Italy actually.. but the light in Florence is outa this world, isn't it. we had a villa up high in La Spezia overlooking the bay where Shelley drowned.... again beautiful memories...
It has been over a year now since I found these words .. and my word, how they all still ring true ..... maybe now, more than ever .....
