When In Rome...

[aquamarcia]

I was about an hour into my workday when another poem fell into my head and out of my fingers. I got to a computer just in time to preserve a poem about Rome, posted this evening to poetssociety.

[Addendum, 10:23PM, 22 Sept. 2008]
I've posted another poem, called Not Listening.

's good stuff.

Just curious....why the preoccupation with Rome?

You've been twiddling with it for a while, now.

I'll be twiddling with it more, in the near future. :)

I don't know why I'm fixating on Rome in any specific sense. I just find that the more exposure I get to the architecture, engineering, legendry and history of Ancient Rome the more interested I become. I'm not well-traveled at all, and don't expect to improve on that score, but I really must visit Rome someday.
