Wish You Were Here

Today's NaPoWriMo prompt suggested we write a poem titled "Wish You Were Here" with a postcard theme. It's supposed to be a short poem so it can fit on a postcard, but I can write really tiny, so I think my poem could still fit.  


Wish You Were Here
By Candace Shultz

Hi Grandma!
Today we're in Venice
where the gnocchi is delicious
and the hot cocoa divine. 

Carnevale revelers are everywhere.
I bought a pink sparkly mask
with huge pink feathers.
You would love the design.

We didn't go on a gondola
like you suggested.
The canals in Venice
have a bit of a smell.

Oh, and we got lost!
I asked for directions.
I could say dov'รจ,
non capisco as well.

I wish you were here with me,
happy and carefree,
ready for the next adventure
in Florence, Italy.
