A Good Sign, and a Bad One

The dates on the exhibit sign are not promising,
But Prorogata turns out to mean Extended.
The universal red sign of warning or prohibition,
On the other hand, is fairly easy to ignore.

The Little Theatre (A Tall Tale)
14 Friday Apr 2017
Dying to get inside the theatre
Ever since she’s learned it was there,
Rebecca didn’t really seem to care
What they played or how close the score.
Or else, if you want the truth to be told,
Tonight’s Easter concert of chamber music
Was easily as fully measured and hypnotic
As Teatro Caio Melisso a wonder to behold.

The Rocca Albornoziana

“This page has not yet been created,” according to my WikiLink.
Rocca (singular) = fortress; rocce (plural) = fortresses
iana = adjectival ending, I hereby suppose
Since Cardinal Abornoz built many of these fortresses
In 14th century Umbria, as he led Pope Innocent VI’s forces.
Easy to survey the town from here or visit the museum.
More inviting, no doubt, than when it served as a prison.
