#capri - Hello Poetry

Italy's Capri admirably fits the bill as an enchanted island, Nestled in the Bay of Naples, it's apt to call it wonderland, It is famous as a coastal resort and a celebrated beauty spot, Little wonder of it being touristy and a location often sought The isle is seriously beautiful, sans any blemish in its splendor, So little room for any shortcoming, chances of which are slender, Breathtaking views from any angle makes Capri appear so scenic, Futile to draw comparison to any other isle that is so panoramic Capri is known as the isle of the sirens in Greek mythology, It has very little to do though with any aspect of theology, Long considered a preserve of celebrities and the super-rich, The small precipitous island is a must-visit travel agent's sales pitch Accessible only by ferry or hydrofoil from Naples and its surrounds, The idyllic isle with sheer cliffs and dazzling seascapes visually astounds, Steep cliffs rise majestically from an almost impossibly blue sea, That the isle has that tangible deluxe feel, is for all to see The island has a mythical charm with its jaw-dropping natural beauty, Stunning landscapes from rocky caves to the horizon's edge lend to the popularity, Shimmering sea views, secluded grottos lure visitors in droves to be on board, Amazing cuisine, world-class shopping are bells and whistles; lest you get bored Blue Grotto is an oceanic cave at the water's edge with an opening to the sea, Optical effects created by sunlight bouncing on the cave walls, is a sight to see, Water lit turquoise hues from below, by the sun, creates a magical atmosphere, Shimmering cobalt-blue light images beckons us to a virtual optical stratosphere Through the water on the floor of the cave, Roman remains are clearly visible, Supposedly used as a bathing place by Emperor Tiberius, a reason nigh plausible, This lagoon was probably a Roman villa with statues decorating the whole floor, Other entrances to the grotto were created to improve irrigation, per Greek folklore Capri's standout are three rocky peaks emerging from the azure blue water, Called the Faraglioni, the limestone stacks are discernible to any spotter, Formed by erosion, separated by water thro' collapse of solid land mass, Emerging as steep rocks rising out of the sea, surprisingly not as a morass La Piazzetta, aka chiazza, is a bustling diminutive square in the heart of Capri, Table settings of the handful of cafes are meant for one to be carefree, The colorful clock tower chimes every quarter hour throughout the day, With thronging crowds at all times, little surprise why the place holds sway Post ferry drop-off at Marina Grande, a road trip from Capri to Anacapri is a must, Brace yourselves for a 3-km. stretch of hairpin bends en route in the mini bus, On the slopes of Mount Solaro and at a higher elevation than Capri, The more authentic side of the island and less crowded, is Anacapri Piazza Vittoria in Anacapri town is the bustling bus stop square where one alights, Sauntering thro' colorful bougainvillea, geranium festooned lanes is sheer delight, Behold a mix of Neapolitan tailor shops, artisan shoemakers and souvenir shops, Enjoy the aerial whiff of the town's lemon groves pervading everywhere, nonstop Museum of Villa San Michele is a building articulating at various levels, Ancient artifacts, Roman paving, marble columns are sights that revel, An elevated garden with granite Sphinx and Greek tomb is a perfect setting, For a sweeping view of the Bay of Naples below, that looks so enchanting Continuing downhill, the Church of Santa Sofia is the pride of the town, The adjoining Piazza Armando Diaz bustling with activity is a place of its own, Locals chatting and reading newspapers presents such a wonderful sight, Seated on hand painted majolica benches, as if conveying life is so bright A visit to Capri is incomplete without tasting the famed Caprese salad, The taste is so exquisite that one tends to break into a ballad, Tomatoes, milky mozzarella, aromatic basil leaves are the sole ingredients, A drizzle of sharply flavored olive oil does little to serve as an impediment Restaurants abound the lanes with crowds' incessant chatter, Panino Caprese being made in a jiffy is no laughing matter, So popular is the salad that it can be found on every menu, Strolling along past excited visitors, makes for the perfect milieu It is with a heavy heart that you ferry back to mainland at the trip's end, While enjoying the panoramic stunning views again, as if there's no end, It is not without reason that Capri's famed "cliff beauty" is so majestic, The only describable feeling of the experience is that it is "ecstatic"!
