Joseph May Poet Rhyme

Nd - Ablaze

Henry VI and Napoleon were crowned Kings there
 A hunchback found his lady fair,
 But heartbreak comes to Notre Dame
 As she is now in flames

 Joan of Arc, whose reputation was maligned
 Was beatified there in 1909
 But heartbreak comes for Notre Dame
 As she is now in flames

 The flames have died, the lady stands
 She'll be restored and again be grand
 Where once,  the hunchback, with heart aflame
 Found love and solace with this Dame

Paul Callus May 5, 2019 at 11:16 AM The fire @ Notre Dame has also appealed to your muse, Joseph. What a pity that years of history can be so easily erased! Regards // paul

Andrea Dietrich April 26, 2019 at 6:17 PM Gosh, Joseph, I was there back in the 70's. I know I must have stood inside it, but I barely can recall it. I wish I had that "remembrance" of it to write a good a tribute as this one.
