I tried to correct it, but it would not let me post again. You should be able to find me now. Don't be alarmed by my current post, I write all sorts of poetry--you just need to dig a bit and there's something for everyone! Thanks!

I would love to get there though - my husband toured Italy with his old girlfriend (she wasn't OLD, you understand, it was just a long time ago). We're due a trip to Italia together. For now, your blog will do me for a good hit. I love espresso too! I'm new here, but I have a feeling you're going to be seeing a lot of me. I hope I'm still in time (I realize I'm just under the wire) for your contest. I would love to read "La Bella Lingua".
