Beautiful imagery, E.R.! I had to look at more images online. I want to go there and play with the sheep now.

Thank You Nancy! You'll crack up at this but the first time I visited years ago, I saw the sheep and was so excited until my relatives that live there told me that the famous regional dish is Arrosticini. Once you know, you can't unlearn it. Free the sheep!

This poem airs such good bucolic vibes. The ending was great, too—the phrase "when I'm gone again too soon" is terrific.

Thank You Luis! The whole area is like a time machine, you feel like you are transported to a simpler era just being there. It has inspired many a pastoral painting and poem

Thank you Jill! It is magic! So stark, you feel like you're about to fight dragons for the kingdom of Narnia in the mountains of central Italy.

Beautiful poem. It left me longing to be there, to experience the gorgeous mountains and the sheep.

Thank you Luna!! You should see it! The mountains are spectacular. They are relatively young mountains so it is like seeing the summits of the Himalayas closer to earth
