Song to Life: Canto Alla Vita

By Leo Caffo

Whats poetry? Poetry is everything that goes straight to the heart of each of us, or that has the power to capture our soul, even for an instant. Poetry does not necessarily have to be written or spoken, but everything that reaches out to us and has the ability to change our soul can, by right, be considered poetry.

Che cos la poesia? La poesia tutto ci che va dritto al cuore di ciascuno di noi, o che ha il potere di catturare la nostra anima, anche per un istante. La poesia non deve necessariamente essere scritta o parlata, ma tutto ci che viene incontro a noi, e ha la capacit di modificare la nostra anima, a buon diritto, puo` essere considerata poesia.
