Tuscany Days



 Vivid views softened by late summer haze
help me imagine these Tuscany days.

Autumn mums add to a flowery scene —
a scene from a place where I've never been.

Sampling some cheese and a Classico wine —
our cedars become rich grapes and a vine.

The lawn's a meadow of grasses and herbs;
a sanctuary that no one disturbs.

Cracked asphalt becomes a cobblestone lane,
leading to this — our "Italian" terrain.

Under an awning, we sit and unwind,
savoring moments with no cares in mind.

Strains of Vivaldi's Four Seasons are heard
in counterpoint with the song of a bird.

All beheld from a small bistro table,
playing its part in this Tuscan fable.
