IRINA DESIGNSIrina's PoetryClick on the poem title below to read the poem on the right. European ImpressionsMunich Munich, you’re the pride of the Bavaria With best cars and autobahns in the area The hometown of the Oktoberfest: Germans know how to celebrate And do it best. The home of the best beer halls Where beer flows and good cheer enthralls. The place where nutcrackers and cookoo clocks Beckon at me from shop windows And I dream to get one in a beautiful gift box. Salzburg The musical city of Mozart And the Sound of Music You’re so dear to my heart. The scenic place set in the mountains and lakes You boast the best cafes and strudel cakes. You’re so full of music and sweets With so much old-world class in the streets. It feels like being in a fairy tale Where goodness and beauty prevail. Trieste The port city on the Adriatic Your subtle nature is so charismatic. The Cathedral, the Castle And the Roman theater Couldn’t be any better. You have the true Italian personality Without the tourist crowds You’re so far from ordinary and banality. Venice The miracle city in the lagoon I love you so much I long to come back soon To enjoy taking a Gondola ride And to see the other boats glide. To delight in listening to the serenade And have fun at the masquerade. I revel having my latte And playing with doves on St. Mark’s square And looking at Murano chandeliers Beckoning at me from shops with so much flair. Verona The city of Romeo and Juliette And the legend so hard to forget. The setting of their beautiful and tragic love The place that’s made to admire and to belove. The city synonymous with romance The site that charmed me at first glance. Milan The fashion capital of the world The city so dynamic I feel swirled. The place so chic I want to shop at the best boutique. The home of the Teatro Alla Scala Your opera singing is amazing And worth of world’s praising. The home of the Da Vinci’s Last Supper Makes your artistic value upper. Milan you’re so elegant and fine Your character is truly devine. www.IrinaDesigns.com |
