Notes About The Poem

A Girls View of the 1980's

I will go back in time to the 1980's when I was still a young girl,
         loved watching the movie Flash dance;
                 then, leaping in a Footloose trance,
                          and with hope took a hip hop chance.
Yes, even back then although much was happening I took a twirl,
        brother just played his PacMan game;
                John Lennon was murdered- oh shame,
                         and Michael Jackson was the name.
In my room-  with leg warmers and a boombox blaring I would whirl,
         oh, the challenger and crew lost;
                Mount Helen erupts with a cost,
                           wore ray sunglasses in the frost.
ET, Thriller and then moon walking with My Little Pony-   I swirl
         oh, Rubik's Cube my brother's thing;
                 to my childhood I wished to cling,
                          and with Whitney Houston to sing.
