The poet's flower: Rosa canina, or dog rose or eglantine. Photo taken by me today, around noon, in my favourite Parisian park. As it was a bit windy, I put my hand on the branch in order to prevent the beautiful dog rose to oscillate too much while I was taking this picture. A sprig of rosa canina was one of the gifts rewarding poets for their literary excellence during the Middle Age, at the Academy of Floral Games in France. To YOU. See You in two months!

This morning I have met this lovely robin in the quiet "secret garden" inside my favourite Parisian park. I zoomed a lot because I would not disturb him by coming closer, so this is not an extraordinary picture and I surely would not win a photography prize, but it is a nice souvenir of this unexpected meeting. More and more Good Things to come, indeed. Vera da Pozzo Paris, 27th April 2026 (C) Vera da Pozzo (C) Italy is Mine (C) Italy is Mine and It owes Me a Living...

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

More concerts to enjoy, more Countries and cities to discover, from the North to the South next Summer, plus Paris and Brussels in December. See you in two months, Fantastic Bird!

My school holidays start with good news... Morrissey in Europe again: many dates this Summer, and three more concerts later in the year: Paris (la Seine musicale) on 3rd December, Netherlands and Belgium at the ending of 2026. It's time to check my agenda. Below, the new European poster and my screenshot of today's post on Morrissey Central. "Hello Hell" was written on the drumkit in 2023. Oh, the irony!

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? Your Presence is a Present Your Tenderness is Strong Just like a Silver Shield That protects Me from Evil And keeps Me Safe and Well In the Embrace of your Love To YOU Vera da Pozzo Paris, 18th April 2026 Poem above and photos below by me, of course. The beautiful flowers (Myosotis and Iris) in my favourite Parisian park. (C) Vera da

So, as I guessed, last Saturday, the post Italia on Morrissey Central has been republished this Monday , and we have had another post from Morrissey on the same day, Italy is You and Me , with a fan video by George Rae of You're right, It's Time , the opening track of Morrissey's new album Make-up is a Lie , starring Pier Paolo Pasolini. Below, the stunningly beautiful picture of Morrissey taken during his concert in my Sicily, at Villa Bellini in Catania, on 31st July. I wi

This lovely and very shy cat is not easy to be seen because of the noisy crowd of pupils and students, but this morning (even if I am free from courses on Monday this year) I had to go to school today - I met him or her again: I was so happy because of this unexpected meeting that I felt that it would have been a good day from the start. I zoomed a lot for taking the picture below because I did not want to scare the White Cat by approaching him (or her) too near. This lovely

I cannot explain how , but I knew that today I would have found on Morrissey Central some news about the next tour... I was right, and absolutely not disappointed at all. Morrissey will be back to Italy during school holidays, like last year, which makes things much easier. And how I love to see my Country's name always written in Italian on Morrissey's posts. See you in nearby places, Silver Boy! Vera da Pozzo Paris, 11th April 2026 Below: screenshots of the announcement

When I hear You I'm never Lost I feel at Home When You're here Because it's You And every Fear Will disappear When You come And watch Me With your bright And gentle Smile To YOU Vera da Pozzo Paris, 10th April A.

There are not news yet of the new European tour, but we have news about new releases tomorrow and on Morrissey's birthday . About the picture of the post on Central, I am sure that Dave Musheigan took it at the concert in Rome, where Morrissey wore a red shirt, whilst in Lucca he was wearing the same blue-grey flower shirt he wore for the concert at the Gasometer in Vienna. By the way, I am glad I could attend all these three fantastic concerts and I do hope I will able to at

If the concert had been yesterday - this year, Monday is my day off at school, as Friday - it would have been better, because it is quite stressing to run away from my lycée which is at 40 km from Paris, but I am happy to attend another concert of Brigitte calls me Baby, the rock band from Chicago that I have discovered last year, thanks to Morrissey, who chose them as opening act for his concerts in Dublin and Paris. I am also happy to see again some French friends I met at

One of the most beautiful and intemporal Italian songs: Senza fine , by the great songwriter and singer Gino Paoli , composed in 1961 for Ornella Vanoni , one of the finest singers that Italy have ever spawned. Born in the same year 1934, Ornella Vanoni and Gino Paoli were lovers first and very close friends later in their life. Ornella died last November and Gino has followed her now in March: I guess they have found the Sky outside the Room. I am not and I have never been

Living in Paris, I have always dreamt of singing in a band and even forming one on my own, but I soon realized that there were and still are many obstacles to music projects, and not just the main one - i. e., how to live doing music : Musical tastes are not easy to combine, even in a huge, cosmopolitan city like Paris. There still are people who want to rock... in French, which is ( désolée , mes amis français ! ) one of the most boring languages for rock, punk and to

Two weeks later, I am still in Zurich... with my mind. Happiness is still on my side and all the beautiful flowers and birds of my beloved Parisian park tell me that there are More Good Things to come. Below, some flowers for YOU. Photos taken by me (as always) in "my" park.

Spring has arrived earlier this year, thanks to Morrissey and his European tour which has started in Aarhus in mid-February and has finished tonight in Seville. I have not yet the time to finish all my posts about the four ( they should have been five ) concerts I have had the chance to attend (Hamburg, Rotterdam, Lille and Zurich) and this rentrée will not allow me to write more, at least for the next two weeks. Below, some pics of Morrissey's concert in Seville, via Getty

A quiet walk in my favourite Parisian park, far from Hell and evil people. Unfortunately, it is also far from Seville, where Morrissey will sing tonight. Sing and shine tonight, Fantastic Bird! Art is an Eternal Spring. I hope I will see You again in Europe this year, during my school holidays. Below, some flowers from my havre de paix in Paris. Photos by me.
