Notes About The Poem

Feeling Groovy

Bell-bottom blue jeans 
were the rage 
when I was that age
'tween twelve and fourteen.
With no money to spend 
on such foolish things,
our lives wouldn't end
without that latest trend.

But we knew how to make do,
and Mom didn't say no
when we just split the seam
of an outdated jean,
sewed in a piece of colorful cloth
from an old-fashioned frock,
and felt groovy in our homemade 
bell-bottom blue jeans.
