My Vacation


I would like a dream vacation,
     Paris is my destination;
For me this would be a delight,
          I am ready to book a flight.

I will walk the wide boulevards,
     And sneak a peek at nice backyards;
Oh, it would be lovely at night,
          I am ready to book a flight.

I would drift on the Seine River,
     The Louvre-  I would stay ever;
The Eiffel Tower, what a sight,
           I am ready to book a flight.

At the Notre-Dame I would pray,
     In the boutiques I want to stay;
In an old cemetery- write,
          I am ready to book a flight.

And search for my French ancestors,
     Unadorned graves with no answers;
Oh, almost there, but just not quite,
          I am ready to book a flight.

The French have a lot going for them in spirit and philosophy. It's a beautiful place, and I have been there several times. Paris is easy to navigate, and people who are in the know really love it.

Duke, I do like to find suitable images to go with my poems, I thing it adds to the feeling of the poem, but not always, so need no picture ~

BTW, you pick beautiful pictures. The essence of sidewalk cafes. Isn't it remarkable that they spend so much time talking?

Daniel, well there is a lot of history in the cemeteries of Paris, I hear, and well all the statues and monuments would be amazing as I am a bit of a photo nut also, it would be so awesome and oh yes, a city has to have history to interest me too, Normandy would be great also, thanks for visiting with the love ~~
