Sarah - NOLA Influences


French Quarter
Each house is a different color.
Each wrought iron grate and fence has a different design.
Each window is a door into another story.
The French Quarter’s cobbled streets and brick buildings
Hold every kind of story imaginable
From waves to beads this quarter
It has been at the heart of everything in the city
And despite the currents, pain and rain
The French Quarter is still there.

Sarah, age 17
