Seine Poems - Poems about Seine

Night on The Seine 1939 Silver and gold from city lights daub the black river like brush strokes from VanGogh. The Seine murmurs against La Rive Gauche where dreams of artists linger, then turns to glide obediently against La Rive Droite where politicians drink cognac and talk of war. We are in the middle of Time in a small boat. “You cannot leave me!” she commands. “Of course...

In the shadow of dreams, where the Seine whispers secrets to the moon, I wander the cobblestone veins of Paris, a city of illusions and sighs, Where every corner hides a promise, and every promise, a lie dressed in silk. Oh, Paris, siren of the night, your beauty is a mask that dances in the twilight, A masquerade of...

The Eiffel Tower stabbed at a midnight as blue as an old Muddy Waters track. From a distance, its lace-iron skeleton looked like a slick and oily spider-web crowned with a glittering neon diamond. (My Grandmère's home is across the street from it). “Do you want to go climb it?” I’d asked Peter (my bf). “Naah,” he’d replied, “too crowded - what’s...

She. Serenity’s relief adheres to alabaster sleep from the rivers own pale fruit. There is majesty in the tides annihilation that polishes cheek and lip.

A blink gives birth to locked gaze that gorges itself upon...

Along the Seine the artists paint Scenes of a picturesque Paris, While tourists stroll admiring Flowers growing on an upper terrace. The bridges along the river's course Remember many a lover's sigh, So, too, a boatman rowing slowly Hoping to catch a maiden's eye. He does not know the artist sees His presence as a focal point, or, That he will someday adorn a wall Where...

The Seine river banks, with their lack of guardrails, freaked me out in fourth grade: "Avez-vous entendu?!!" My best friend rushed to ask it. "Did you hear?! (the news)" A woman drowned!! She gushed - the horror tale punch line delivered. My eyes were wide with shock and fear - the monster takes another victim. The dark Seine river slithered, like a green snake - feet from my front...

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.

We watched the moonlight on La Seine Glissading down in gold refrains But then, it seemed, the silence crept with old cliché's, we can't forget...

On the stone whitebeige border of a bridge over the Seine, she rests her two arms, her body leaning on her outer forearms; the tearlet longlaced white ruffles on her longsleeved dark skyblue dress fall in small tiered cascades from long somewhat full sleeves ...
