Literary Geniuses Of Renaissance - Giovanni Boccaccio
A mural collection of tales
By Giovanni Boccaccio, probably composed
Between 1349 and 1353
The work is regarded as the masterpiece
Of classical Italian prose
While romantic and poor
It speaks from a medium-bound sensibility
In its existence
And a human ability to work on
Even if sorrow
That it came in two parts
Are a drop of sorrow
In the life of the first part
It's pure eclectic
All the stories take a different turn
Day one consists of a meeting
Discussion of human vices on day two
Fortune triumphs over its human plaything
But it is trounced by human will on day three
Day four is marked by tragic love story
Day five brings happy things to
Happy and heart-broken day
Day five brings happy things to
Security check
An auction body
Licensed roughly on day seven
Eight at nine by ten
Early things are brought to high
Fits the white leaf
By restoring visions greased
Greased till the toast is the sight
Of old tales
