Kim Rodrigues Poet Free verse

Deplaning of 1964

DEPLANING OF 1964

enigmatic,
four souls
rocking voices,
idol haircuts, a drum,
guitars and a smile…

fainting, waving,
heads bobbing,

despairing boyfriends
and parents

seems like,
yesterday

I wanna hold your hand-
edness

got out of hand,
helter-skelter in view

Panagiota Romios July 8, 2019 at 11:37 AM They were terrific. And you captured them well in your poem, Kim. I learned most of their songs in German. LOL..in those days in Chicago, I was a fan of a soccer team(males), We'd go to the Clubhouse after a game, it was all The Fab4 in Deutsch! Thanks Kim, Panagiota Kim Rodrigues July 8, 2019 at 3:10 PM Cool! Thanks for the share!

Gershon Wolf July 7, 2019 at 1:13 PM Interesting take on the Four Lads... What I remember best is my sisters screaming like hyenas at their first appearance on the Ed Sullivan show... My sisters were 10 and 12 respectively, and I fell on the floor laughing at them, which made them quite angry, of course... :) gw Kim Rodrigues July 7, 2019 at 1:16 PM LOL! I just watched the 1978 movie, I Wanna Hold Your Hand. What a hoot! I was born in 1960 so I only knew of them after the fact. I was more an Osmond fan :)
