OctPoWriMo2021 Day 29: Paris

Posted on October 29, 2021 by Andrea R Huelsenbeck

Today’s prompt is Paris, and the form is rhopalic verse.

Bucket List 

I’ve
never
ever been
to Paris, the
city of lights and
city of love; nor have
I ever seen the Eiffel
Tower or the Louvre. I’ve never
strolled along the Seine, never sailed a
toy boat in the Jardin des Tuileries,
never prayed in Notre Dame cathedral. I 
can’t even speak French. But maybe someday I will 
have the time and the means and the opportunity 
to fly across the ocean and experience all the 
wonder Paris has to offer. It’s still on my bucket list.

Neat stuff found online.

A watercolorist’s process.
Can’t find your wedding ring? Did you check the garden? (I almost spelled it “weeding ring.)
Laughter makes your day better. Read these comments a teacher collected from her young students.
A children’s book explores the plight of the polar bear.
Street art and doors.
When her bracelet broke, it inspired six little pieces of art. (I have wasted my life.)
I’m so jealous—I wish I could take a trip to Paris like this one, including the Van Gogh exhibit.
Being a good conversationalist isn’t so much about what you say as what questions you ask.
Were you wondering what to get me for Christmas? Or for the other writers on your list? Some items are no longer available, but the ideas are still valid.
Beautiful photographs of fungi.
Memoirs that read like thrillers.
Beautiful, easy fabric star ornaments to make.

A way to look at your subject so you can draw it more accurately.

You can turn a fail around.
Tips from people who have been around the block a few times.
Woody Guthrie’s New Year resolutions from 1943. I could make a few of these, even though I’m allergic to New Year resolutions.

The large-scale paintings of Salman Khoshroo. Be sure to watch the video of the artist at work. Fascinating.
