She found her lover Dancing in narrow street Exposing flesh to any who would For a few baubles reward The brazen Her dress now but worn tattered patches Dyed again in other hues Resembling shadow To hide age marked skin That cannot compare To her lovers’ Pride Without dignity Carnival Without depth Bacchus rules her bed with Coarse grope Leaving bruise on once fair That has grown thin And spotted with age Raping The ghosts of long dead Who would rest in their stone But by contract now must rise And entertain Now with each day She dons another gown And adds a feathered mask Hoping the gay light Will laugh away eyes That might see her shame [This message has been edited by Cpat Hair (01-20-2003 10:45 AM).] |

What a description; pathetically sad and unfortunately, so true of many, ....who don't live there... Your writing smacks me up along side my brain sometimes.  Enjoyed the talent of this write.Thanks, Pat ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. "Desiderata" [This message has been edited by regards2you (01-20-2003 09:26 AM).] |

I see you found some inspiration... Lady Orleans has many many stories. I only wish you'd found some of the happier ones... |

thanks to all of you... I'm glad to be back and sad at the same time the lady and I didn't get to spend more time together. She has beauty...and a sense of who she is layered with so many things that are like us..as people.. making her complex and somewhat vulnerable at the same time she would poison you. Playing catch up from being gone...and I promise..no more about New Orleans for a while and more reading as well as responding to the poems here.. for now... thank you again..it is greatly felt when any of you take time and say a few words to what I might scribble here on the blue walls... |

never been to New Orleans, somehow I think I would see it the way you did, the sadness outweighing the beauty....when you see the debauchery on tv, it makes me shudder... wonderful write....gonna direct a friend to read this...she used to live there |

Friend here. *G* And I'm glad I followed directions. *S* You've captured one of the many flavors the city and her occupants offer... not every turn of the kaleidoscope displays pretty colors. *S* This is a fantastic write, sir... I greatly enjoyed. *S* |

Ron, some really amazing writing and vivid descriptions. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this and read it several times. Sadly, I think there are women like this everywhere. Hugs, Marti Most of us go to our grave |
