Let the Good Times Roll

Anacreontic Verse Let The Good Times Roll 1t's Mardi Gras time in New Orleans the French say laissez les bons temps rouler let the good times roll. they roll in the streets nights of revelry Bourbon Street throngs of people dancing merriment, laughter alias Fat Tuesday parades, drinking such debauchery throws of beads to half naked women who scream and shout, Hey Mister throw me something rewarded with smiles A time for fun like no place else.

Great write, Lin! The swaying of the words in your poem kind of reminds me of an undulating crowd of people, like you would see at Mardi Gras. Congrats on your win! Love, KIm

Lin, I like the French phrase adds color to the poem and the energy oozing from your poem combined with the way you formatted it!~Olive Eloisa =`)

G'morning, Olive. It's an action packed 2 weeks in the city, and we need lots of energy to keep up with parades and formal balls! Thank you for liking it and for noticing the rolling format. I wasn't sure anyone would get it.

Thanks, Anna. A section of New Orleans is known as the Vieux Carre'...French Quarter. It's a city filled with heritage and steeped in history. I'm glad you like this one. ~ Lin ~
