Small star bursts of light
Peek out from their ebony blanket
A pale silvery moon shines down
Lighting the world to day
In a strange, mysterious way
Lights of the night
And lights of the city
Sitting upon a rooftop
One can look up and see
The giant Eiffel Tower
Shimmering in the distance
With a thousand lights glittering
And one could also look down
And be blinded by its beauty
The gentle glow of streetlamps
Cast yellow pools upon the sidewalk
Bright lights emanate from the windows of
Houses and shops
Bringing with it the sound of laughter
Smells begin to drift up to the rooftops
Smells of rich soups
And sweet desserts
And thick, creamy pasta sauces
The heavy scent of
Freshly brewed coffee
Comes from a cafe nearby
And the stench of
Burning bread
Stings the night
From the bakery down the street
Far below
People busy the streets
Perhaps on their way home
Or maybe just to enjoy
The cool night
Filled with the sounds and smells
Of Paris...

PoetryThis is just a small collection of some poems I've written. Most are a few years old as I wrote them in high school. I'm hoping to get re-inspired to start writing again by publishing these.
