“I am New Orleans”
I am the ambiance of New Orleans
The beignets, the street cars,
The boats, the Mardi Gras Madness,
The art, the street mimes,
The legends, the soul,
The music, the food,
The history,
The place where jazz was born,
The French market,
The character of the city and the fact that it’s surrounded by water,
The games in the superdome,
Cheering for the saints, the spooky swamps,
The ghosts around the town,
The charming people you cannot match anywhere,
I am New Orleans,
The city that is not like no other
- Jasmine, age 16
