Marseille

I will add more to this later, but I'm going to put the poem I came up with this morning about Marseille. It's kind of like a grade five did it, so sorry, but I just felt inspired this morning when I was trying to describe Marseille where we spent this week-end!



Heat, sun,
blue sea,
 
proud, irrepressible, ancient city, 
dusty, peach-coloured buildings sprawling to the mountains
in a crowded maze of winding, narrow streets
and wide, arrow-straight boulevards
leading to beaches that are alive into the middle of the night,
proud churches, flamboyant fountains, grandiose sculptures
and a cathedral standing guard on an impossible perch
witness to it all
