Light Show

The crisp black sky was cut tonight,
by two new beacons of laser light.
The first I saw as I approached,
the cloister tower of Santa Croce.
Northwest it went, a line so straight,
and disappeared without a trace.

The other beacon, just as bright,
emitted from a towering height.
A line so green,
it could been seen,
by anyone whose nightime gaze
was celestial bound - the sky's ablaze!

If you look closely, you'll see the laser light coming
from the tower of the Palazzo Vecchio
Hint: it's the thin blue line..
