Best Parisian Poems

Lemon meringue sweet-laughter-light
fills shadows cerulean blue.
Café de Flore’s summer hot night
where dreams tangerine rendezvous.

Six strings strumming lavender notes
tones, violaceous lilac lace,
heartbeats' delicate music floats
on fanciful lilts ears embrace.

Conversation thrills with saffron!
Hints, amorous in coral blushed sheen,
lashes flirt, lush fluttered chiffon;
intentions are aquamarine.

French liqueur sipped, yellow...

In a diaphanous café amidst the Parisien city's light,
Where lemon meringue waltz with dulcet delight,
Laughter echoes, filling shadows with glee,
A cerulean blue sky above sets dreams free.

Strings strumming lavender notes...

There was a poet from France,
Who thought he really could dance!
Up onto the Eifel tower he went, 
Not walking straight but really quite bent.
Whoops and ooh-la-la!
Onto the French earth he fell..
Oh, poet dear, your very last tear.
Pooling and gleaming, ever so tragically 
in your ear.

May you...

to a sweet navel of glutinous oracle
sticks the fairytale makeup
because the model caressed the tree
since the model recognizes the apple
as the model eats the grass
a carrot from Hollywood paradise
a green salad with organic smelly...

In Paris, was caught in the rain,
and it caused me considerable pain;
sidestepping a well,
in the river I fell -
they pronounced me completely in Seine...

Parisian nights magical made for hand in hand walking
Along the light sparkling Seine,
Across bridges running to old left bank enclaves
Magic nights soft city lights
Footsteps echo into alleys
Taxis purr catlike in misty morning dew
Who walks in these early hours just before dawn?
Bakers rolling croissants, freshly baking
Deliveries...

Supposing she agrees to come
To Paris with me in July,
It sounds like all I've ever waited for...
So why am I feeling so shy?

Two nights in the City of Lovers;
It could be magical or a disaster,
Even the thought of spending time with her
Is causing my helpless...

Art
Van Gogh
Parisian fields, starry nights
Sunflower seed pods droop
The darkness of a Dutch post impressionist mind
But to us, striking colors and contoured lines....

Parisian Passion
Tilly came to the place made for romance
Paris the capital city of France 
The place where sentimental dreams are made
This was her most spine-tingling escapade.

Bustling city, a busy buzzing place
Yet everyone had a smile on their face
Tilly was not disappointed at all
She was in...

The skies of Paris were lit up
in 1940, when the Luftwaffe 
rained down armament...

Burned again in student riots
in 1968, with the protests
against parliament

Then again an apartment block
In 2019, Feb, arson after a 
neighbours' argument

And now the skies light up once more 
In 2019, now Our...
