Snowing in Venice

I surely am owed some favor in heaven,

for surely fate knows the flavor of balance

It tastes of the snows that trickle in Venice

Bring Cupid with bow and arrow this minute!

“If here it does snow, then surely it goes

that I may not row for forever alone;

that love I may know as a treasure my own”

If this ain’t a sign, then surely I’m finished

Strip hope and pride, all wonders diminished

Fate’s hand is snide, and I am its witness

should I find no love as it’s snowing in Venice

Expressive Poem! :)
"If this ain’t a sign, then surely I’m finished

That rhythm just goes and goes and goes. It great. I actually came to your other poem first and hopped to your page and then here. Such lovely construction of language. It is capturing. I loved it so much, I had to add it to my library. Thanks for sharing your work.

The proclamation of hope within at the sight of snow in Venice resounds. This is delight to read.
