VENICE BRIDGE: FOR A PAINTING, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Away back in an old city
Last Line: And end in the sky.
Subject(s): Bridges; Paintings & Painters; Venice, Italy


AWAY back in an old city
I saw a bridge.
That bridge belonged to Venice.
It was to the rainbow clear
It traveled,
Over an old canal.
You had to pass a cloudy gate
To reach the color . . .
Bridges do sometimes begin on the earth
And end in the sky.
