Portofino Prelude

A piece of art, paint on canvas
Colors chosen to show the famous harbor
At his loveliest
Where fishing boats sail toward faraway hills
And tourists mingle with Italian locals
Seeking a courtyard where they can rest and enjoy
View of the teal waters
And the red and orange and yellow and pink houses
A prelude, a wish, a longing
For a time when I can visit Portofino, alive and splendid

And you. So run into the Arms of the Fisherman
