Geneva Poems - Poems about Geneva


Premium Member strange shrouds
I sat in restless chairs I breathed stilted air what feeling compares with feeling squandered? I’m not sadfishing, I was bored in a 5-star hotel. I’d swum the Atlantic - in the underground pool and I felt like I was marinating in boredom. It was as if the loudest thing in our suite was the sound of my eyelashes flapping up and down. I wasn’t...

The bright sunrise made the snow-covered Alp mountain-tips, an hour-away-by-car, glow like they were topped with lemon ice-cream. Was this evidence of magic? Peter (my bf) and I are low atop the five story Hotel de la Paix, in Geneva, which seems like a small town - with only 10 slightly interesting things to see -...

People came and went all night, welcomed by the warm evening, the 12-piece jazz band, rich restaurant aromas and the boundless night sky. I hear their enthusiasm as they’re escorted to their tables. These Geneva people seem more Germanic and reserved than the French, although they’ve stolen our language. Maybe they license French or subscribe...

During finals week, I’d spent days on various reports and papers, scribbling in the margins of notes and books, checking facts, revising flashcards and prepping with friends. I’ve an unshakable faith in plodding persistence. We were tested and sent packing. Today, I’m in Geneva, with Peter (my bf). He works for CERN. I’m on vacation - but...

Premium Member in-coming
Something’s happening, let’s call it sunrise, for now, and summer vacation in Geneva, in umm.. 10 hours. My heart-beat is spiking, like a flag or kite flying. I’m leaving an empty room - making one last pass with a broom. I’m stuffing my bag, with the last few things, for escape on aluminum wings. My dreams, woven in bright, butterfly...

Premium Member Lake Geneva Girl, Remembers
A teenage girl, a bit of a flirt. Lying on a beach blanket, Yes,  that one~ right over there! Can you see that bubbling brunette? Lays back down in her two piece,tartan, bathing suit. White-heart shaped glasses cover her eyes. She rubs sun lotion on her dancer's thighs. He cannot see her watching his physique ... his gold, skin glistening, muscular and tweaked. Only to...

Almost Sad In Geneva
Lake Léman must float the weight of the city – Its grey stolid affluence needs hydraulic help. Our paddle steamer chuffs beyond the tall fountain. For a while, grand houses bob beside us. In Geneva the poor must fit between the opulence. Up ahead, Mont Blanc, and other Wagnerian massifs, begin to shrink us into fisheyes. Then sunlight spills its sky into the deep waters. Suddenly we are afloat on...
