Vocabulaire, Poèmes

This eclectic compilation offers a whirlwind tour through early‑twentieth‑century French verse, where ordinary scenes melt into dream‑like tableaux. The poet jumps from a bustling Parisian hotel to a sun‑lit tramway, from a swan drifting on Swiss snow to a mischievous aeronautic love‑affair, all rendered in compact, lyrical bursts. The language is playful yet precise, inviting listeners to linger on curious images such as a lantern‑eating fish or a mirror that turns life upside down.

Throughout the collection, recurring motifs—birds in jars, turning roses, and elusive sirens—create a subtle thread that ties the seemingly disparate pieces together. While some poems celebrate fleeting pleasures like a “bonjour d’Arcachon,” others pause to reflect on loss, memory, and the strange beauty of everyday objects. Listening to these verses feels like stepping into a vivid carnival where humor, melancholy, and absurdity dance hand in hand.
