Strong and emotional. You said everything in short verses.
It left me reflections...

Very compelling, it's astounding how your pen is able to capture
In so few words the horrific tragedy, (shock), and leave such a deep impact on us all!
Thank you for sharing

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Paris was frozen in place Friday.....no, there were no sidewalk cafes serving sweet treats and coffee. All I could think of when I read your title was the old Herman's Hermits tune, "No milk today, my love has gone away..." Indeed, so many people lost those they loved Friday....such a tragedy. You have captured it in three lines. Lydi**

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, i borrowed that title....it fit...and why did i know that you would recognize it...i know peter....met him years ago and email with him from time to time...wonderful man...appreciates his fans...that was his own favorite song....

but yes, "love has gone away...the bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn"

thank you for the read and impressions....

Really you know Peter Noone? Cool!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

one of our Logan guys knows him and did a British Invasion class on line....Peter was in the class as was Georgie Waller (Gordon's wife----Peter and Gordon)
Peter and i communicate sometimes and i met him in peoria at one of his concerts...he actually wrote me when he was doing a concert near here in Cape Girardeau...but georgie and i grew to be really good cyber friends...and she has invited me to stay at her house if i ever get to Glendale, Cal...who knows if that will ever happen...

Gordon was really nice...i emailed with him some, but he drank himself to death---so sad.

[Lydia Shutter]

It's wonderful you got to know them a bit....to see they are "real" people, not just stars. Yes, it was sad Gordon drank himself to death. Alcoholism touches all too many lives. Lydi*

It even makes one feel guilty for even enjoying a cup of coffee in a Parisian cafe considering the atrocity several days back. Beautifully written and captured.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you for your words, Nadia...

Yes, that's how we all feel- to deny ourselves some privileges and luxuries when so many innocents have been denied the very right to life. Thank you for saying it in such nice words.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you for your kind words, DIVYA...
