POETRY
Tale of the Swan
โPROSA POรTICA by Elisa Mascia
(Translated from Italian)
Grandma and granddaughter.
Grandma now sits,
With a big book on her lap,
Glasses on her nose perched,
Big book laid out,
Reads and reads stories,
About golden fish, transparent bubbles,
Sickle moon,
Gives peace.
Her granddaughter,
Leans out of a cup,
Fantasy… magic…,
Lighted windows,
Trees, enchanted forests.
Strange but cute the grandma,
Has a little umbrella open on her head,
It is scarlet red, like a fairy tale…,
Serves, not even a syllable must escape.
