Here is a poem on Venice which is one of the poems in the book.
VENICE
From Florence, we took the Eurostar to Venice in the Adriatic Sea.
With no roads, travelled in a waterbus from the train station to hotel and did see.
Lining the banks of the Grand Canal were gothic palaces, gardens, and bridges.
After disembarking the water bus, walked to our hotel with our suitcases.
The sublime capital of revelry, intrigue, and romance, had a magical atmosphere.
Known as the 'City of Canals,’ it’s famous for gondola rides and carnival affairs.
Helpful hotel staff booked us on a water taxi,
To take us on a grand tour of the Murano Glass Factory.
We saw how jewelry, chandeliers, and glass products were made.
The meals in Venice are delicious and all fish-based.
The ‘City of Love, was the setting for Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet play.
I hope to return to Venice again some day.
