Paris By Day

Meandering silently on this warm sunny day Past the artists with easels perched. Oil paints, scenery, still life, it all, Taking it in, on the Rive Gauche. The brush strokes capture the beauty While life on the left bank goes on. I wander past, hands in pockets, Appreciating the beauty of Paris’ sun. The nightlife in Paris is as they say; Burlesque, lively, bon vivant. But, Paris by day, walk face to the sun Shows a side more intelligent than fun. Appreciate the art, the culture, the joie de vivre. It is here for all, the Louvre, Notre Dame, la Tour Eiffel. Take with you your thoughts as you wander the city. Leave, then, with more thoughts and culture as well.
