The Lady in Florence

This piece was supposed to be for a 7-line contest, but then I found out I can't enter the contest, so I'll just post it for fun. The was supposed to be a 7line poem written about the picture above.

In beautiful Florence, where lovely ladies grow,

Lived Dante and Beatrice.

A love story, untold.

 

Dante belonged to another, his heart never really there.

To take from poor Gemma, Beatrice did not dare.

 

‘Twas on that day, at Ponte Santa Trinita,

That Lady Bice walked past, without care.
