Italian Morning, English Afternoon

Report to a moderator 
An olive grove,
Aside a hill,
A meadow full,
Of daffodil.

Cappucino,
Piazza scene,
Bone china tea,
Just like the Queen.

Colourful bowl,
Gelati sits,
Clotted cream scones,
With jam, in bits.

An Italian morning,
An English afternoon,
Live La Dolce Vita,
On a lazy day in June.

I like this poem very much till the penultimate line. Your juxtaposition of Italian things and English things was very interesting. What stopped me from liking the whole thing was the word 'matrix'. I'm not sure in which sense you mean it. None of the senses I can think of make sense to me.

Thanks Carl,

I was mistaken with my use of the word matrix, thanks for letting me know.  Hopefully the new line is an improvement!
