I wish through those few pages to make you discover Jacques Prévert's French poetry and his simple way of speaking about life and love. You'll see that Jacques Prévert does not try to phrase or look after the grammar: he writes in the same way as he speaks and that is why his poems are so beautiful and true. I have filed his poems in small groups with the idea of accessibility. All his poems are taken from "Paroles", book which was published in 1945 and took France by storm. Jacques Prévert strongly influenced Paris artists and the surrealist movement..
