Carolyn Devonshire Poet Free verse

Qui Est L'Amour

Mon raison d'être
Your face is more beautiful than the Eiffel Tower at sunrise
Our amour seemed real, n’est-ce pas?

When I first saw you, I sensed déjà vu
Your Mona Lisa smile made me wonder
Is she a femme fatale?

But when you kicked my shins, 
I knew that I had made a faux pas
I’ll keep my distance from l'objet d'art

John Loving Iii May 12, 2012 at 6:53 PM i understand some but not all. so glad i sent you that picture so long ago. yes that is the dog that i loved. so few people know what love is. love is the thing that makes you cry. Gerald Kithinji August 16, 2013 at 2:42 PM Raison d'etre is reason for being. N'est ce pas?- Is it not so? Deja vu- tediously familiar feeling. Femme fatale- seductively attractive woman. Faux pas- blunder. L'objet d'art- artful object? Hope it helps. Gerald
