Inspiration
Bloody Italians was originally written for the 2010 STIRRED POeTS competition held on The Write Idea forum. I have no recollection of what the prompt was, or what it scored. It may have been something to do with opera.

Bloody Italians was highly commended in the 2014 Fire River Poets competition.
