“The Gardens Within Paris”
sunny or cloudy
they’re there all year
they’re there for everyone
bird houses the size of smart cars
set into the trees
*
birds
fat as the kings of old
dense of the tourist anew
and
quick as the children scooting
on sidewalks on scooters and skates
*
flowers like watercolored stars
among trees grown tall
all around
them
*
gates statues fences urns
and cameras
*
the luxembourg gardens
fit for a queen
fitted
for a city
the Citi of Paree

Neat Place to Eat Near Luxembourg Gardens
Machu Picchu
– Updated 11.26.19 – appears this restaurant is now closed –
on one of our trips (several already) to luxembourg gardens (down the street via st michel) we wanted to try a peruvian restaurant recommended by the folk of lonely planet, with a book of the same name – tania our youngest had suggested the book, and had had a great trip to peru some time back, so that seemed like enough reasons to google the tiny street it’s on and give it a try –
below, because i couldn’t find a website for it, is a google search of reviews etc for it
very interesting place, great food, good prices, well worth it
*
as most places we’ve been to at lunch, we’re the first ones there, and soon after, packed!
paris is definitely a late lunch (vs u.s. lunches) place 😉

Final Thoughts
i’ve had the good fortune to have grown up around some great parks, moved and lived by other great parks, and the luxembourg gardens in paris adds another great place of nature people have been able to keep fresh and useable, both for other people, and fellow winged and furry creatures we live with 😉
and like so many of the great areas i’ve been close to, whether galveston’s seawall, herman or memorial parks in houston, lady bird (town lake) and barton springs in austin, or the waterfront and leddy park in burlington vt, luxembourg gardens appears worth experiencing in all its state year round
having parks like these around us growing up and now, is like a communal prayer with the world around us, that things will work out for our little planet
best wishes,
adan

I spent a day there the last time I was in Paris. I stayed just down the street. Lovely poem, and lovely pictures. I wrote a poem about it too. It was inspired by all the queen sculptures in the park. I like the joy in this poem. Well done!
