Thursday Doors, 28/5/20: Vitorchiano 3.

Thursday Doors, 21/5/20: Vitorchiano 2.

Today we continue our stroll through Vitorchiano from this January. All today’s photos were taken within seven minutes. Imagine how many doors are still waiting. In my previous Thursday Doors post we parked, had a lovely lunch and entered the old town of Vitorchiano. Today we continue. The winter day was coming to a close […]

Thursday Doors, 14/5/20: Vitorchiano 1.

Today I finally delve into the doors of Vitorchiano, officially one of the prettiest Italian towns. And it was not even on my list. This was one of our field trips with Flavia in January, and on this one we were joined by her friend who is a local from nearby Viterbo, north of Rome, […]

My fifth Thursday Doors anniversary

Five years ago something happened that completely changed my life here in Italy. Nothing would ever be the same again. I started to mind the doors. I still know exactly how it felt when I realised that there was a challenge tempting us to post door photos on Thursdays. It felt like what finding your […]

Day 23 & Thursday Doors, 23/4/20: Doors/Vrata

Today I wish to share my space with my mother who also wrote a poem for children about letters. And my poem? Well, it’s Thursday again and this can mean only one thing. Prompt 23: “Write a poem about a particular letter of the alphabet, or perhaps, the letters that form a short word. Doesn’t […]

Day 16 & Thursday Doors, 16/4/20: Via Larga, Viterbo

I cannot get over the last normal day. I was discovering amazing Viterbo and its many doors for the first time. Here are some of them and a poem about its happiest street. Prompt 16: “Today we challenge you to write a poem of over-the-top compliments. Pick a person, place, or thing you love, and […]

Day Nine & Thursday Doors, 9/4/20: Door poem

Today I give you big bold beautiful green door from Viterbo and a poem in the shape of one – if you believe it. Prompt 9: “Today, I’d like to challenge you to write a “concrete” poem – a poem in which the lines and words are organized to take a shape that reflects in […]

Day Two: Dream house + Thursday Doors 2/4/20

I knew immediately which house I wished to write about. But then I remembered that it was Thursday and Thursday spells doors. This is how I solved the matter. Prompt 2: “Write a poem about a specific place — a particular house or store or school or office. Try to incorporate concrete details”… Dream house […]
