A strange twist. New Orleans is all about the strange... with a festive twist. At times like this, one longs for a lover by your side.

Susan, this brought back my trip to New Orleans years ago and what a great time I had. The images in this writing are magnificent. A great one!

Susan,

You took me there, to the glory days of Carnival ... powerfully imaged in verse and illustration. The Big Easy, isn't, anymore ... well done.

Stay safe, 'hear?

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. :(

A marvelous poem, with such a sad ending. And your ending reminds me of my time in the Big Easy, right after Katrina came.
