I don't write poetry...

But I had to for an assignment in italian.  We were given four pieces of different(?) poems written by Cesare Pavese and asked to create our own little piece using the vocabulary found in one of the stanzas we were given.  I thought the poems were a little on the melancholy side!  So that's how my last-minute poem turned out:

Nel tuo silenzio, mi sento inghiottita.

Se tu mi respingi,

Al mare dovro' andare.

Via dal tuo buio,

Verso l'alba nel mio cuore.

Il mio sangue viene dal mare;

Il tuo silenzio non verra' con me.
