my 9 cat lives - poetry look back of Rue Cler

RUE CLER
Delight your senses, palette and soul at Rue Cler
wander down a cobblestone community laced
with iron work balconies and grand antique shutters above,
colored awnings receive you as you meander through its local commerce
an experience to nourish the spirit... and charm the taste buds of
every fortuitous visitor,
where miniature dogs, especially Yorkshire terriers are the pet of preference
and if chance would have it, being awakened to a morning "Bonjour" yelled across the market from a newfound American friend,
where street performers play Persians tunes live by accordion and
merchants offer delights of tastes, each truly connoisseurs of their trade!


      What indulgence will be your affair?  What delicacy will fancy your excursion?

Tarte shop            apple, raspberry, custard, chocolat, citron, or mandarin
Fleur store           buckets and baskets of brilliant flowers, what’s your favorite?
Crepe stand          ham, egg & cheese, fruit & sugar, nutella, pineapple or cream
Vin shop               red or white, choose from the wicker baskets out front
Confiserris            over 100 different chocolat, pralines & candy to choose from
Boucher shop                 poultry, lyons hanging, pork chops as big as you hand,
Boulangerie           fresh baguettes, quiche or fluffy cream and ham sandwiches        
Fruits de mer                 fish on ice, shellfish, lobster, crabs, octopus,
Produit                ripe tender vibrant colored berries, peaches, tomamoes
Fromage               brie, gruyere, neufchatel,
Corner Cafe           expresso and a flaky choclat croissant standing at the bar
