I Long For Paris City Lights

there is no better way to greet the morning sun than with a hot croissant and café au lait on a quaint terrace in the mecca of fashion elegance striking a pose à la Coco Chanel before hitting the perfumeries and climbing the heights of the Eiffel Tower to get that bird’s eye view of the Seine and watch twilight descend on Paris as street lights burst in clusters catching her running down the cobble streets just like Cinderella AP: 3rd place 2021, Honorable Mention 2021 Posted on November 18, 2018

Love this one. I couldn't help but think of Claude Monet when I read this one.

Croissant & demi served me well for the morning bus trip from Paris to Camp des Loges, but nothing compares with seeing the domes of the Sacré-Coeur after a long trip up North except, of course, watching Cinderellas enjoying Paris. Well done! Aloha! Rico

Line, I had no idea you feel and speak French! Your amazing personality comes through as I sit here, not sipping coffee, wishing I had coffee and a croissant. I feel like I have been to Paris this morning. Thank you!

It is the most beautiful city I have ever seen Line. The language, the lights, the louvre, its charms make it so. I loved your poem! : )
