Florence

A poem

Iron red powder paint, locally produced (see link below)

The colour of the town is red
Iron rich, it’s veins have bled

Ore extracted from it’s womb
Rich and earthy haematite bloom

Riches from our Mother pulled
Now with music spirits lulled

Tribute given to the land
Strokes of colour, made by hand.
