Groovy

Peace and love lots of slang man
I'm feeling groovy tonight
I was a flower child still stand
wishing we could all unite
although they protested
in their maxi dresses
and were getting arrested
I would've avoided those messes
mag wheels and jacked up cars
green shaggy carpet
matching kitchen appliances with bars
long hair and sideburns artists
silver trees color wheels
did glow with their stacks
mini-skirts flashing appeals
burning bras with bare backs
just to experience how it feels
custom vans with daisies
parents with wigs toupees
rose colored glasses not crazies
an era that never went out fun days

Dear Angela, your impressive expressive poem captures the essence of the "flower power" and "silver trees color wheels" days. Brilliant rhymes and reminiscent imagery adorn this beautiful piece. Love it! Warmest wishes and hugs.. ~Susan

You have taken me down memory lane, Angela! Those were the days ~ Flower Power... 'Make Love Not War'. Scott McKenzie and San Francisco come to mind...I could go on and on and on :) Best regards // paul
