Best Nd Poems

I like talking to the stars
They are the best listeners of my wars
Excellent keepers of my secrets
And so we know each others traits
They Comes every night to celebrate their height
Me being an audience lost in their show of light
Stare at them, get connect with them
They...

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...

Unbelievable- Paris stopped breathing and even the world,
the cathedral spire shuddered, clung, trembling;
then, plunged burning and the crowd and the world itself,
wept, for the beautiful Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.

Construction of the cathedral began in 1160 to 1260,
a wonderful example of Romanesque French Gothic architecture;
I...

The people gaze in disbelief
As flames engulf the screaming spire.
Raised eyes, transfixed, are full of grief
To witness this ferocious fire.

The very heart of Paris groans
As acrid smoke erupts with ease
And atheists reduced to tears
Console those driven to their knees.

And as the spire comes crashing down
The...

Oh sweet child of mine

Father n'd Father

I'm so glad i never came

Because knowing me
full well i'm a flake 

And would probably only end
up being want away

At the 1st sign of when the
going got remotely tough

So better not

I never got or was afforded
the opportunity

Of becoming a...

wandering quaint streets 
long ago with my small group,
we view Notre Dame

graceful Parisian essence . . .
fire can’t devour memories

On the grandeur of the sprawling front garden
the Parisian sun rising on the sparkling Seine
casts designed shadow of the bygone centuries,
enshrined in the medieval cathedral, Notre Dame.

She stands witness of many a turning event
of French history and inspired many authors.
A unique icon of French Gothic...

: ND- Rejuvenation Optimism

Renovation irony
Cathedral Notre-dame de Paris
Burning fifteen hours

Hopes and dreams
Up in smoke? No.
Faith prevails.

Masterpiece of Gothic architecture
Will be rebuilt
Rejuvenation optimism. 

The French gave the U.S. our Statue of Liberty
Andrew Tallon has given the French the gift
of his 3-D scan of the Cathedral he...

O’ in the laden light
Sparks the fire,
Its attic
Cathedral of fire shall not burn down
A blazed, all consuming fire;
Chard concrete, statues, bricks ignite;
Heavens, angels tear cry out, not here;
"The Cathedral serves as a spiritual home”
 For almost a millennium, always shown;
Cathedral of fire shall not burn...

What did I do to deserve this?
Could someone out there not condone my purpose?
Maybe this nightmare is but a dream.
What a horror in a place so serene.
Oh why did this happen to me?
I am kind.
I am a sweet and holy sanctuary.
Where many prayed and got...

devastating fire
flickering flames light dark sky
Paris mourns its loss


Notre Dame destroyed
like a phoenix from ashes  ...
it will rise again

Easter Sunday
a cathedral smolders,
people are crushed and weeping.
While a painted egg sits in his hand,
he's blissfully unaware.
The only thing that exists are three white eggs.
A rainbow of colors on his tiny fingertips....

Strong exercise of your brain take,
The stronger money you can make,
Weak exercise cause money to shake.

Proper physical exercise increase your health,
Proper mental exercise increqse your wealth,
Laziness decrease both health and wealth.

True learning fear usually dissapear,
Passion abd burning desire appear,
Low learning cause of fear.

What it feels...

She knew this day would one day arrive
just as she knows each morning the sun will rise…

Still she feels its bittersweetness…
as this day delights and terrifies…

Sometimes she can’t stop herself from smiling…
other times…she cries

For today is the day when she can no longer see…

Her father was a gardener his shoes were never clean
They were always brown and dirty…which helped his thumbs stay green.

She remembers watching him with his plants…she remembers being amused
Sometimes all she saw of him was the bottom of his shoes.

He could grow anything he put...
