New Or_Lean(s) Inside the serenity of the courtyard walls no pretense echoing remnants meant for aesthetics of life now only vacant chairs from young lovers seeking the neon lights remain Mystic adventure riding the famous City of Orleans perhaps conjures up memory while famous blues play on Bourbon Street where the ghost of Pete Fountain can be felt on trumpet Some would say a city now in decay Y'at no mercy from the elements to bring it back for all it's diverse mysteries so rich of American Heritage we cannot afford to lose (c) New Or_Lean(s) 18September2012 Vivian L Dawson

It is so sad that a once great city like New Orleans is suffering from lack of tourism; vacant chairs there should not be empty. You did justice to one of my favorite towns by your poignant poem. May this beloved city recover soon to be the vibrant force of music and entertainment once again!

I think you artfully captured the shadow of this story. "...aesthetics of life now only/vacant chairs..." puts the vanish in the reader's eye. Placing in the ghost trumpet was perfect. ~~ Diana

Magnificent, such beauty to be preserved
You present your lovely prose with a wonderful
picture that is timeless as all these beautiful
things in life should be preserved in such
wonderful romance and setting

President Bush stated it would take years to revamp New Orleans and it most likely will...throughly enjoyed,Vivian...

Made me think. Mother Nature sure made a mess of that vibrant city. the empty chairs analogy captures its present state pretty well. Hopefully the phoenix will arise once more.

Sadly not the great city it used to be, and it's still struggling to survive. But I truly hope that it does; I've always loved its unique charm.

Lady Vivian ~
Trumpet players to hear along with a Jazz band. Jazzy and crisp
the tunes resonate. A wonderful heritage. Enjoyed the city of
life and heart in your poetry.

To lose famous landmarks and music such as the famous blues would be tragic, they must be restored and kept alive! You took me there~

Nice poetry, Vivian, about one of the most interesting cities I've ever been to. The title with the New or Lean(s) is perfect. As we speak it is on the lean side of that equation. I live sixty mils from New Orleans, but don't go there much. I did my day and nights in the city though and have many memories.
