Notes About The Poem

My Contest Bio

Maurice. Intense, passionate, funny, shy. Brother of  Rene, Marcelle and Charles. Lover of  my two daughters, all life especially simple folk and anything or anyone that hurts, women and nature equally. Who feels  all pains, all joys, butterflies in my tummy. Who fears unbending authority, any harm coming to my daughters, corrupt world leaders (any level of corruption regardless how minute). Who would like to see Casablanca in the sunlight, Paris in the moonlight, Prague anytime of the day. Resident of Planet Earth where I was created before there were any borders my small piece is contained on a place called The Greater Toronto Area, Ontario,Canada. Yvonne.

Dear Maurice, Toronto is a "greater area" because you are in it. You have a lot of compassion for others and your loving nature comes through so well in this poem. As for Casablanca, "Here's looking at you, kid." Congrats on your big win! Love, carolyn

I had a feeling you might like Paris, Casablanca and Prague. A whole bunch of us should go to one spot experience all that we can while writing poetry. I could have special writing sessions late at night in my room. Maybe even show you some etchings.
