Description New Orleans was stolen from me

I had dreams of living
Among the lamps and heat

Talking French with the elders
Talking Jive with the youngers
Retiring every sweaty night
To turn experience into passion

Stone and sin and beer
Mix the mortar of my pages

Now all broken and underwater

Would have loved to visit pre-flood New Orleans. Other than the odd TV programme or news report I've got no idea what state the place is in now. Shame.

Anyway, nice poetry, if I say so myself.

Were you fortunate enough to have visited? Or, uh, unfortunate enough? Probably depends on when you went.

I live on the Mississippi gulf coast. I've been to New Orleans a few times before Katrina and I think once afterward, but also got a face full of Katrina m'self when it happened. Sad memories.
