Shirley Hawkins Poet Rhyme

Paris By Day

Paris by night is gay,
I prefer Paris by day
I love the ambience and style,
French fashion stands out a mile,
From all the others in that trade,
The best designs are Parisienne made.
The French have flair beyond compare,
I praise the food and savoir-faire
Visiting a French bakery
For cafe au lait, gateau or tea,
Little bistros are a treat,
Place where young lovers meet.
Romance in Paris Ooh La La,
For love, one does not need to look far.
Couples walking hand in hand,
It could be just a one night stand.
The French love to love, so they say,
Even if it lasts for just one day.
The feeling of romance is everywhere,
Strains of music in the air.
People reading while sipping wine,
The atmosphere is simply divine.
The lake shimmers like glass
As children's toy yachts come bobbing past.
I have lost all sense of time, as I'm
Captured by the contentment on the faces
Of people of different ages and races
Enjoying their day,
In their way.

Rico Leffanta October 17, 2021 at 11:47 AM One of the things I truly enjoyed when I lived in Paris, was just walking around! You wouldn't believe how many girls I took to (or met) Cimetière du Père-Lachaise! Best city in the world for young people to learn what makes them tick! Enjoyed, Shirley! Aloha!

L Milton Hankins October 17, 2021 at 11:13 AM Oh my, Shirley, you made me want to go back to Paris!!! Your images were so on-target and absolutely enchanting...as is the City of Lights! Shirley Hawkins October 17, 2021 at 5:19 PM So very pleased you enjoyed the poem, Milt. My husband took me there for my 70th birthday that seems like yesterday but was 14 years ago. Memories that last for ever...
