Bello Casentino Poem by Shirley Harrison

Bello Casentino

The ghost of Dante, mounted horse
mist in air, early morn

trees they whisper, taunting clouds
hovering over forest crowds

dawn's light creeping, piercing through
onto last nights dusk time view

leaves crackling under feet
colours of autumn brown, orange, dark green

the smell of pungent soaking frond
pools of rain drops
frogs in pond.
