Holly - Creature of the Night


When the sun dies, the city grows brighter.

New Orleans becomes a different world.

Creatures of the night come alive.

Festivities begin.

Cab cars scurry.

Intoxicated laughter fills the air.

Music escalades for all to hear.

NOPD squad car sirens accompany jazz musicians

Full of music

Full of laughter

New Orleans is a creature of the night.

Holly, age 16
