Italy is mine

Last weekend, I saw and heard plenty of sparrows in Lillestrøm and Oslo: a joy for the eyes, the ears, the heart and the soul. I remembered the old and happy times, when sparrows were numerous in our street and their joyous chirping filled our tiny garden and echoed into our modest home. Back to Paris, where, as in Palermo, the sparrows' population have dramatically decreased since 2005, I have had the joy to see them in various places where their survival is made possible by

A Pure Soul can be hurt, But never soiled: Her Wings stay strong Among Turmoil - Nevertheless, They need to rest In a Safe Place For a little while Vera da Pozzo Paris, 19th June 2026 Poem above, whole article and photo below by me, of course. Lavender is, indeed, a quiet and safe place for this Cabbage White (Pieris brassicæ) to rest and have some good nectar: to fly with an injured wing must be terribly exhausting - and I need to rest myself too, if I want to fly again, as

A quiet early morning In my dearest Park Before the heat Starts to hit Through the drops Kissing the leaves A little Rainbow Quickly appears On the fresh wet grass The Blackbird looks at Me And his gentle, soulful gaze Says : "Hello, my Saviour! I'm always glad to see You And I'll remember forever You were my Lucky Escape From the Ravens' Attack. I know Evil People harm You But They will never soil You Because You are Brave and Stronger than the Vile Mob. Enjoy the Good You

Drink your own Poison: You made It and You deserve It I am not like You all And I will never play Your vile, cruel Game I don't believe in Devil And I know that Evil Is what is chosen by Envious, Silly Losers Who hate all the Good, Sincere and Brave People I will never be like You, for I keep my Heart and Mind Well away from You all And all your malicious Words and Actions Vera da Pozzo Paris, 15th June 2026 Poem by me, photo aussi.

To me, Charles Trenet is THE French singer and songwriter, the one who put Poetry and Popular song together and also the most beautiful French singing voice. If my plans had worked as I had intended, I would have moved to Dublin instead of Paris, but, even if I have always had more affinity with Ireland (and the UK) and English language, I have like French language too and I have always been fascinated by the old good time when France still creates artists, poets, great singe

A very rainy day, especially in the afternoon, but this morning I had the chance to enjoy a one-hour promenade in my beloved and deserted Parisian park. How I was glad to enjoy to be there in complete solitude - but not alone, because there are hundreds and hundreds of friends in leaves, petals or feathers who are happy to meet me again. While I was peacefully walking, suddenly a verse, then another, came to my mind and I wrote a short poem on a tissue, with the help of my de

April is over And May is here: Ad Maiora! True Joy is near It may happen, so Make It happen now Vera da Pozzo, Paris, 1/5/2026 As an Italian proverb say, Forza e coraggio! Dopo aprile viene maggio.

During my school holidays in Paris, I am glad to have had the chance to go to the Irish Cultural Centre tonight and watch Clouded Reveries by Ciara Nic Chormaic: a stunning interview-documentary with and about the poet and essayist Doireann Ní Ghríofa, an interesting figure in the Irish literary world. I would have loved to meet her but there was just the director, a resident artist at the Irish Cultural Centre: Ciara Nic Chormaic is a lovely and friendly lady - as all the Ir

How do You come to Me Through the Night's Heart Into the Day's Start? What or Who is the Force That silently guides You In my Bed and my Dreams?

See You soon in Rotterdam! To YOU Vera da Pozzo Paris, 17th February 2026 Above: Morrissey in Frankfurt tonight, while singing Lost , a song I love so much, which haunts me since last August, after the end of the European tour. This beautiful photo was taken and sent to me by M. from Lyon: she attended the concert in Hambourg too and tonight she is in the first row. I am very happy for her and very grateful for the picture she has sent me. I think she could have waited the en

Bluebird of Happiness. I'll soon return to Paris because I am not on holidays yet, but how I would love to be in Frankfurt tomorrow... It was such a joy to see Morrissey arriving at the Sporthalle greeting, bowing and smiling at us, and pleased to see a Perfect Blue bird of Happiness on his left eyebrow. It was quite strange and a bit funny to see Morrissey from above, like he sees us from the stage; I would have loved to see him nearer, but we were twenty people or more an
