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. __________________________ February 4, 2016 Poetry/Verse/Paris, My Destination Copyright Protected, ID 16- 752-282-0 All Rights Reserved.

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 ~~
