Aromas of the Forties

Brian! You are so good at evoking feeling and creating a sense of scene, especially for an audience of my age who were born right at the end of the century (I'm only eighteen) and missed the whole thing. It's just like we're almost there. I quite simply adore your work.

I was born in '46, my wife in'47, baby boomers. I'd still like to go back and have all the inconveniences again. The apathy and lack of drive in what I see now makes the 40's and 50's so much more attractive. Vince

I was not born until the 60's, but I do remember getting milk from the milkman, such memories, take care D-nyce

Born in the forties, I could relate to all those things. Having the milkman deliver those bottles at our front door! Such different times then. Perfect little poem that took me back in time! ~Carrie

Yes, I can relate too, though I was born in the 50's. Same nostalgic memories here. Well captured. Love, Shar

Oh, Brian! All of these things make my so sad to think about how simple life was back then. Perfect and brilliant cinqku. Glad to be back here, rweading your wonderful poetry. Love Kristin
