Judy Konos Poet Rhyme

The Grand Old Lady By the River

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans  
To see the ironworks filled with flowers supreme 
To gaze the Mississippi on calm felled days 
Then wonder how youth suddenly slipped away 

Do you Know what it means to miss New Orleans?

Robert Pettit June 12, 2013 at 12:51 PM I've never been there; so I would not know. However, it must be nice if the city produced so many fine musical artists like Fats Domino and the late Louis Armstrong.
