La vita e bella means life is beautiful or wonderful la bella vita means the good life Roman countryside aged well in time "la vita e bella", is said with vintage wine "was that life is wonderful?" the stranger said "No," snapped the local, "use your head!" 'La vita e bella,' is as common as good wine you say it when life around you is fine; it can fill cup after cup, drink your goblet slowly so passes time, keeps the grapes from feeling lonely. "la bella vita," quipped the stranger, who shot in the dark, like a lone ranger: "I will drink the wine, and not in haste, life is brief, not a moment to waste."

 I like this, Martin. And sipping slowly makes the bouquet last so much longer. |

I like this so much. I did a poem last year, La Bella Vita. So this title caught me. But wow, you did a fine poem here. Sandra |

 (smiles) Oh Martin, this is wonderful, being a fond lover of the Latin language and of understanding history, I enjoyed the Epicurean feel of this delightful poem! (big hugggssssss) This is fabulous, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martin, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Noah, It a pleasure to add some spice to a monolingual poem by adding something novel |
