Featured on previous Paris PhotoPoem post.
Above is an image from one of my Paris Photo posts, which offers some window views from inside the cafe.
Below the poem is another. There are views and views from windows in Paris. 🙂

Paris is Personal
Seated
in a cafe of hundreds
and unable to hear
anyone’s whispers
and public kisses
receiving
passing smiles,
we know
despite the monuments
dated in centuries
outside the our curtained window,
everything we would do
that day, that night,
in the quiet of our room,
by the bustle of the metro,
on the walks of the Champs-Elysees,
under the Eiffel Tower,
everything we could do,
would always be
personal.

dVersePoets OpenLinkNight, # 101, Hosted by Tony Maude (who hails from Britain)
I’ve linked my new poem to a great site for poets, dVersePoets.
Tony is new to “the pub,” as dVersePoets is often referred to, and has interesting projects he’s begun in England. He’s hosted a few other prompts at dVerse, and I’ve finally managed to get a poem into one.
OpenLinkNight is a big deal, with usually over a hundred poets participating.
Hope you get a chance to visit some and see what’s what. 🙂

I’d only written one other Paris poem before this, and, working on my Paris Photo series, I just couldn’t resist joining my poetry to my imagery, both of which of course, join my fiction work. 🙂
When working in three different art forms, it’s nice when one over-riding subject or theme can be used.
Happy first day of summer later this week everyone. 🙂
