The 'Poem A Day' Project ~ Day 181 Poem by Flying Lemming

First day in Rome, an exciting new place, full of passion and cred
But after the really early start we spend a few hours in bed
Determined to see some of the sites we set out on a night tour
Clutching our guidebook and pre-marked map we stride out of the door
We see several sights, all covered with lights to make them stand out from the dark
And have a fresh meal, an Italian real deal, accompanied by a little dog’s bark
Taking in the scene, feeling serene, back to the hotel to relax
A tiring day, we both drift away as soon as we get on our backs
Already with cameras bursting with photos and many more on the way
We’ve munched the cuisine, some sights we have seen, and its only just the first day
