Last weekend my class went on our senior trip to new orleans...finally some inspiration... Address not Available In between the balconies, standing in an ancient haze, savioring every moment of his Nawlins days, seeing all the old shops, one way streets so crowded too, music on the coners, tile sidewalks plodded through, Mississippi River, St. Loius I and Jackson Square, went to Burbon Street, and paid a trolley fare, saw some haunted houses, courtyards and the garden district, the hold it had on him was feeling somewhat mistic, waiting for his return, the city kept on going, New Orleans gets its way with people without them even knowing. 6:50 pm May 9, 2001 Lakewalker "Be kind for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle" Plato. |

my daddy is from louisiana and we go down to new orleans from time to time, so this poem brought back some good memories for me. i love the images in this, you really put me me in the middle of the jazz joints and crowded streets. this is beautiful writing, keep posting your work. Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing. |

Let's all go to New Orleans. Anyhow, my class is going to DC on thursday and friday of next week, but not me. Oh well, I get to stay home and lounge around and do whatever my heart desires!  HAHAHAHAHA. Anyways, great poem Lakey. Also, nice pic. I wish people would stop telling me that I can do anything I want to. I never thought that I couldn't. |

Great work man! Nice to see you have inspiration once again. I learned a bit about New Orleans in French Class... but your poem taught me more than that class did. Well done. ~Allan Build a man a fire, and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life. |

The casualness of this poem is really cool. It kind of feels like I myself am visiting New Orleans for the first time. As for critiques, you've made a few spelling mistakes - namely your spelling of mystic. "If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh" |

Allan- thanks for you comments! Jenn- It was great there, thanks for replying Katie- Thanks, I'm glad you like it. And I want to go to australia and see all the cool places Carly- Thanks for the reply, I'm happy to see you liked it fractal- Thanks for your comments I didn't run a spell check on this poem, I guess I was in such a rush to post it. Next time I'll be more careful "Be kind for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle" Plato. |

Stace- It's an interesting place, and thanks for the reply acire-There were beads in the trees down there still. Thanks for reading this one! Jon-They wouldn't let us go down there during Mardis Gras It was fun anyway Ben-I think that's a great place to have a pip get together Thanks for reading this Javier-you can come and meet me, ben, and everyone else down there. That'd answer you question if you'd ever meet any people from pip. And midgets? You really want me to write about midgets? I don't think i could do it.
