Le Bucket List

Ah, Paris, is still calling me, as a romantic lover that has been the background of my dreams. Though life passes by like a falling star the hopeful trip still flows through my bloodstream. I’ve put off hearing ‘Comment-allez vous’, which is an old reminder of what someday I must do. Sometimes my thought’s wander to the banks of the Seine yet I’ve never been except in pictures back then. Will it ever happen? I long to stroll down the Champ De Elysee for a whole day during the lovely month of May. And when I gaze upon the Arc De Triomphe, I won’t state ‘humph’, rather it will be my own triumph. I’d love to sit for hours, and be transformed by the power of the Eiffel Tower. There will be plenty of time to visit the Louvre and Notre Dame which are two good reasons why I came. I’ll also see the castle Versailles before I die; only as long as I give a try. And when hunger sets in I’ll order café au lait in a sidewalk café on the Champ De Elysee, and maybe I’ll say, merci. A baguette with some brie will go wonderfully With this bucket list spree in good old Paris. Paris has always been the X on my treasure map, though wrinkled and worn going way back, I had sworn to dig up my dream, ah some day, some day. Au revoir mon ami.

Love your shape poem a clever idea for a 'Bucket List' Hope it comes true for you. I went in my twenties with a back pack and a Eur Rail pass. The Eiffel Tower is wonderful and the Louvre... although we had very little money we were having a wonderful working honeymoon. and we got to see it in the early seventies. Thanks for your comment on my poems today and the welcome, Hugs SuZ

Here's some helpful advice if you ever go to Paris: Know the language fluently. The local merchants there will rob you blind if they discover you are just another naive American tourist. La ville de Paris est tres jolie, n-est ce pas?

David, what an excellent way to do shape poetry on this delightful theme of Paris. I had the great fortune in '74 to visit paris for two weeks. I adored it. I am sure it is still as wonderful now as it was back then. I hope you get your dream.
