Day 4 of Poetry Month

What happened in Paris on November 13, 2015 affected all of us. I'd been in Paris in April and it was vibrant and live. people were walking everywhere. Families were sitting in the park beside the Eiffel Tower having picnics. Then it all changed. I honestly don't know if I'll ever go to Paris again.
