Hello Poetry Lovers
Today I would like to remember Carla Scarano. 
A lovely vibrant Italian poet who brought so much to the poetry community, Carla left us very quickly in 2023. A very prolific poet, she gave us a legacy of wonderful poetry.
I particularly loved her pieces on cooking which shared food and relationships in one delicious pot. 
This is one of my favourites.
Parsley
The fringed leaves look like shredded shamrocks
packed in plastic bags from the supermarket,
its freshness fades in the fridge
better to let the stem drink in a glass of water
to last longer, give it a chance to survive
before you chop or tear it to pieces
to season fish, mushrooms or boil in ragu;
its flavour warms the evening light
when the shadows grow deep and we sit
our faces over the steaming soup
talking about the day
how did it go, any news?

What a lovely personal piece. There you are, just a little tribute. You’re gone but never forgotten, Carla.
Thanks for tuning in, PL’s. We’ll be back with more poetry action real soon
