Courtney - NOLA Myths

Nola myths
Voodoo queens, French
quarter ghosts, and mardi gras madness. Some of the most
well known mysteries
repeated over the years
by people not from the city
These myths plague
Nola with more
stereotypes than
one can count
But it is the true
Essence of New Orleans
that dispels these lies
Family, football, food,
and fortune allow this
city to thrive on something
More than just counterfeit
Thoughts and ideas
It is the true traditions
Of Nola that counteract
These lies

Courtney, age 17
