This post can be titled as above, or it could be titled: "The River Seine is Wet."
The following poem is from my book, Perched on the Edge.
Bridge with a Lock
Paris features bridges
some with clocks
and some with locks.
The locks are fastened
there by lovers
who appreciate themselves.
There is a bridge
that has no clock
but has a lot of locks.
I'll be waiting
on that bridge
out amidst the locks.
So you will have
to look for me
on the bridge without a clock
standing by a lock
because you're the only one
who has the proper key.
You said you felt you had the need
to let our love go free
but I don't know what that means
and I can't afford to wait.
I think I'll jump into the Seine
if you're a minute late.

The theme for April 1 is "Wet." The above is my interpretation which allowed me to use one of our Paris photos and to promote my book! Such a deal!
Other interpretations of the theme can be seen HERE.

The bridges of Paris are so beautiful, Lowell! Like your poem too!
What a view! Good poem, too!
Please don't jump into the Seine, I think the water might not be the cleanest!
The practice of putting locks on bridges is pretty stupid in my opinion.
Why do you have a posting about love locks on April Fool's Day?

Lovely poem and photo, Lowell, and you have paired them so well together!
Ha! Good poem and great photo.
Nice poem. Are those statues about to jump into the Seine? Or are those two dressed in black to carry out their suicide pact? Interesting twist on theme day.
Great poem and great photo to go with it. Makes me want to visit Paris again but, not the locks.
A favorite city! Cute poem. I think there have been problems with the weight of all those locks. People aren't supposed to put them there but there are vendors along the sidewalk more than happy to sell them.
Beautiful photograph.
Where love is concerned one needs no clock! The moment is forever locked. ;)
Nicely done! Pretty bridge and pretty poem.
The photo and poem fit so well together. Nice post, Lowell!
J'adore this gorgeous image Lowell and also your wonderful way with words.. more please ☺
What a beautiful bridge and poem. I like them both!
I remember taking photos of that same bridge when I was in Paris! It is a lovely shot Lowell. I already have a copy of your book and I would recommend it to everyone!
Wow you covered all bases there----Good!

Un abrazo.
