“o solo mio”

Posted on November 25, 2020 by purplepeninportland

Written for: The Twiglets #204 – o solo mio

"o solo mio,"
I said in best
Italian accent.
No answer.


Ask Stevie Wonder
for deeper understanding.


o solo mio
echoes from a gondola
a kiss in Venice


            A gondolier sang his heart out
         while his passengers started to shout.
              They were having a feud
              missed out on full moon
            and o solo mio was drowned.
