Montmartre
The harlot on the hill
Her perfume
of garlic and Gaulloises
sour in the Sunday afternoon
~
On the Rue Laitiere
A promenade of bustles
Where from under lace parasols
Working girls glances
Survey the field
~
In the Moulin de la Galette
The thin man in a hurry
Eager at the canvass
Licks brush on palette
and gives Estelle her eyes
~
From a third story window
Lissette leans on her elbows
Smiles at the sunlight
Sighs with the memory
Of yesterday’s lover.

Love the easy going style you have given your words herein, Cari. Reading them, I could absolutely put myself in each scene you gave me to read.

Eloquent and picturesque.

This is the Paris I think of..
Not bullet chatter, and death wails.

"Montmartre
The harlot on the hill
Her perfume
of garlic and Gaulloises
sour in the Sunday afternoon"

Garlic stench, and cigarette smoke...
ya gotta love the taste, and smell of this poem..

effective writting, poet.

"Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance."
Carl Sandburg
