Thoughts of an Autumn Morn in Paris by

The happy days where we were friends.
In this time the life was more beautiful,
And the sun more burning than today.
The dead leaves collected with the shovel.
You see, I did not forget…
From
_ Les Feuilles Mortes_
by Jacques Prevert

French poem and the English translation can be read side by side here

Montemarte watercolours in an Impressionistic/Primitive Naive style on cardboard that was pre-layered with strips of sheet music and pages from a poetry book that was falling apart.
Thank you for looking

About Alison Pearce

Logan based writer, poet and artist. I seek with the pen and the brush. I think and it rolls out into words or strokes. I believe my writing should paint a picture and that my art should tell a story. I’m an uncomplicated woman in a very complicated way.

    Ohh, my best friend is so in love with Paris, she would flip over this. Brilliant beauty! So strange, since I was gone a while you are the third person who I thought was on my watch list, but had to add again. Or, I could be losing it, which very well may be….sigh. hugs, shar oxoxoxoxoxoox

  • Thank you my dear, and no, I don’t think you’re losing it. I was certain you were on my watchlist but when I checked, you weren’t!
