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 October 27, 2019 at 3:49 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!
