Re: Cool!

"Fiorenza" means "flower" or "blossoming." The second letter is "i" not "l" -- I've had people make that mistake. It has four syllables (fee-o-REN-sa) with the accent on the third. I found a sound file with the original Italian pronunciation:

Yay! Thank you.

>> is it okay to include the full text of the poem in the post here as well as a link to the original, or would you prefer I stick to just the link?<<

Please do include the text. I want to maximize exposure for my work. The stuff I'm sharing in this community is mostly published already, so promotion is a good thing. A link back to the Serial Poetry page would also be helpful, in case people want to explore more poems about Fiorenza the Wisewoman:
