Eric Ashford Poet Blank verse

Blue Nun Music

The dilapidated décor,
and Sergeant Pepper
wore the same tones.

Burgundy stocking
hung on a lava lamp,
A poster of Leonard Cohen
as a young man.

Paddington apartments
travel by train unhurried by time.
A girl drinking Liebfraumilch
waiting for me to come home
with a used album of Rubber Sole

We had vinyl prayer-wheels,
a laminated love affair.
We had red and yellow music;
bottles of Blue Nun wine.

Sandra Adams October 13, 2019 at 7:33 PM there is something about decor that stands out in the mind. the 60's and 70's with those gold and greens...loved the way you penned this one.. good write! Eric Ashford October 13, 2019 at 7:41 PM Thanks Sandra, it was "the best of times and the worst of time". Fun to be young again, if only in poetry.

Line Gauthier October 13, 2019 at 2:43 PM What a lovely nostalgic poem, Eric. Wonderful! Eric Ashford October 13, 2019 at 2:50 PM Thank you Line Gauthier, I'm guessing that you are of a certain age to recall those times! Obliged to you for the comment.
