Notes About The Poem

Notes

"A Paris"
Jazz and ballet
White dresses
Red wine

Violin strings
Moulin dances, stories so grim
Le Bois de Vincennes
Castles under clouds of sin

Cafes with causal chatter
When after all
What does life matter?
Drowning, the words filled with laughter

By the Seine
Walking amongst insane dreams
Singing of things never to be
In Paris a fiery inferno

		desires flame

	up in smoke

Great poem Arthur. A city that is on my bucket list to see. Someday maybe. Is this from history or are you setting the city on fire with your debauchery?
