Notes About The Poem

Montreal Under Clouds

a rising sun nowhere to be seen
autumn clouds hang overhead
montreal dreary skies weigh down
metropolis threatened under siege
skyscrapers reach but come up short
smothered by a blanket of grey
unfurled over a sleepy cityscape
everyone scurries helter skelter
seeming cold and eerily distraught
autumn colors peppered about
in a panoramic october slumberfest

Demetrios Trifiatis Date: 10/27/2019 3:49:00 AM Dear, Line your wonderful poem and the picture pay justice to Montreal, my beloved city for 20 years, especially this time of the year! Remember that , Jacques Cartier visited the area back in 1535 on the second of October and was impressed with its beauty that is why called it MOUNT ROYAL ! Thank you for the memories! God bless you!
