Italy
mountains
to Italy
desert
from valleys                    Corsica
pleasant                            is different
to volcano                        from Sardinia 
there's a lot
the lakes                          Its hilly and                      Rome
don't know                       rocky                                roam
                                         not Sardinia                      sculptors in Rome
Italy North                       Corsica's                           do roam
to Italy South                    France                              for inspiration
neither knows                   to Sardinia's
of each other                     Italy                                 White marble
neither speaks                                                            chipped
from mouth                       Two                                  the clear stone
                                          large islands                     tipped
                                          in the                                from the mountainside
There's a difference           aquamarinean sea            with a chissel
in the inference                                                           ripped
that climate makes            Corsica has                       sculptor always does so
there are dissimilar            the highlands
animals                              Sardina just                       Rome
the landscape                     before the sea                    roam
in there takes                                                                sculptors in Rome
                                           Corsica North                    do roam
                                           of Sardinia                         seek the current muses
There's variety                    on the continent                 get them on the phone
from the lake lands            of sea                                  sculptor
to where its lava dry                                                      never far from beauty
there's a fire voice              Corsica Sardinia                 never alone
in one place                        two large
in another                           islands                                 Takes a hand
snows that cry                     of the sea                            to stone scanned
                                                                                        artisticaly

                                            Corsica's rocky                    old is brand new
For Italy North                    Sardina rocks                      intrinsicaly

of Italy South                      to the sea                              Put some age
neither speaks                                                                   into youth
of the other                          Corsica Sardinia                  this is ancient
from the river mouth.          for all that you                     proof
                                             can see                                 of sculptor
                                             one's hilly                            not aloof
                                             the other                               from history

                                                                                          for what's elusive
                                                                                          yet to own
                                                                                          the genius
                                                                                          in the genes
                                                                                           before age
                                                                                           acts to disown
                                                                                          soon to be
                                                                                          sculptor free
                                                                                          cut yor way

Volcano
don't go near
the volcano mouth
in Sicily
Italy South
don't go by
that smile
breathing fire
be leaving
the temperamental part

Volcano
don't go here
by the spurting top                          Florentine paintings
by the splurting                               floral
molten metal                                    are on the wall
about to go pop                               carved into the crevice 
                                                        floral all
Volcano                                           They ran out canvases
don't go near                                     and painted on the wall
Etna today                                        frescoes 
Mt. Etna's fuming                            hope there's not too many
had to leave her holiday                   tescos now
she's got something fiery                  ruining it all 
something to say today                     for Florentine paintings
                                                          crawl
                                                          where they used   
Mt. Etna                                             to sprawl
Volcano
communicating today                        Art can be
so Volcano                                         in the architecture
don't go near                                       conjecture can think
the breathing fire                                about it all
the irredescent orange spire                Florentine paintings
angry as if its not o.k.                          leave behind the hall
read the signs                                      and find themselves
not everything's fine                            on every wall
volcano                                                makes the inspiration
don't go near                                        stand so tall
the volcano today.                               makes Art
                                                             above it all

                                                            They want to use
                                                             every bit
                                                             of canvas they can make
                                                             its in every
                                                             space of the city
                                                             that they take
                                                             no mistake
                                                             its art
                                                             for
                                                             Art's sake.
