ESCAPE

Laura🌻

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!

      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~

            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 .....
