My Town on Seven Hills

You had promised to write about the urban life...you have delivered the promise by creating a wonderful landscape from a Poet's perspective. There are so many good lines which I won't mention because it would be like reproducing more than half of your verses and what is written in between cannot be reproduced but only imagined and perceived.

a pleasure read and a lesson too on how to create a painting of a house atop one of the seven hills. Makes me wonder if you write with a brush

I like the poem. It so reminds me of the "Triggering Town" philosophy of poetry by Richard Hugo who suggests the poet in our modern day must create his own town, out of his imagination, and live in that town in his writing. With this new freedom of inventing places, faces, events in which the surreal can connect with the real as the reader shares the new landscape.
The language and narrative work perfectly within that town, your town.

Although many cities may have several hills, we only think of Rome in that way, and I did not prefer the opening line. It stopped me saying "really, I didn't know that. I have been in both and never heard that mentioned.." as so was distracted from what very quickly evolves on its own.. So I would
just stick with the comparison to Rome...
..

Very vivid, i am almost touching the thing described. Thanks for inviting me in to view your town, its an intriguing place.

I'd rather say
