New drawings and poetry

Well, here's what I've been up to during my last few weeks of travel.  I've made a bunch of drawings and written some poetry in English and Italian or some mixture of the two.  Its wonderful to play with the different languages because certain phrases and words cannot be fully translated.  They lose their meaning.  My Italian is still far from perfect, but in a way this helps.  I am not tied to grammar and traditional phrases.  I try to use the words (whether English or Italian) like pieces to collage with.  I think of these poems as drawings with words.
