A month of goodbyes
Spending my final full month in Paris looking back in order to move on. Each day will be a new or revised poem and, of course, some photographs of this city that I’ve been connected to since I was 22 and will soon leave at 44.
Starts November 1st,

Wordless Wednesday off the tourist track…

After a month of eating, sleeping and drinking poetry (even toilet breaks were scheduled) I’ve decided to start May instead with some Parisian pictures from yesterday morning’s bike ride through this city that you think is unchangable but then you catch it in the still of light and suddenly you notice how the subtleties are shifting. (Even if the politics are falling back to a past best forgotten.)
#NaPoWriMo was a whirlwind of loves, lines, lives, lies, syncopated sentences and non sensical structures. The amount of talented writers here alone on WordPress is mind blowing and reading their creations every day inspired me to want to write better and better. And the support from everyone was incredible. You Three Graces, especially, you know who you are!!
And so a view from an adopted boy in his adopted city…
When you want to study architecture, you go here, Architecture School
I think Street Art like this brings this once grey and neglected district to vibrant life
A sculpture of boats, of course
A new Skyline taking shape in the 13th arrondissement
Architectural inspiration in the form of the Architecture School, of course!
Books needs paper and paper needs trees so here is the National Library and its garden
Above was a free gift from clothing store ‘Weekday’ when it opened its first Paris store!
Something old amid the new, l’Hôtel Salé now known as Musee Picasso in Le Marais
Self Portrait, Velo days
As for the future, it is, as yet, unclear…
(Elections next week- has anyone alerted Beyonce?)
