The cobblestone streets were slick that night looking down from that hotel room drifting off to where his soul had seemed to slip sitting there under the amber glow of iron girders he waited in silence surrounded by a whirl of carousel lights no thoughts of she and the train that awaited him wandering down the long canal staff in hand to ward off wayward gypsies and ghosts of forelorn lovers no thought frought to murmur anything but numbness sipping thoughts of the Seine and the city he loves still whispered on walls |

Another traveller that brings intensely beautiful, melancholic impressions and imagery. Great job. Love, Margherita |

I am always in for something special when I read you. You have a knack for setting the scene as well as stirring emotions of the heart. I can dig your pen name, and I do so enjoy your poetry. |

Yo Martiniat8, I've always felt very much at home in Paris. It's much like Philadelphia, with our cobblestone streets, and dark alleys. If you’re lonesome for Paris, visit Philadelphia. Bobby |

"wandering down the long canal staff in hand to ward off wayward gypsies and ghosts of forelorn lovers no thought frought to murmur anything but numbness" ...what a cool stanza...a lovely blend of intrigue and ambience...going back to read it again |
