Half Moons

In our late teens We’d all doll up Half moons at our heels Spit shined our shoes Bell bottom pants Precisely creased Bright shirts with poofy sleeves Hitting the snooker halls And other local hangouts Smoking cigarettes So groovy and so cool Radio blaring from our cars Chick magnets Destination A&W drivethru Rolled down windows Waiting for our trays Burgers and root beer Published in my 24-page photo/anthology ~RANDOM MUSINGS VOL.2~ 2020 AP: 3rd place 2021 Submitted on March 22, 2020 for contest STRAND CHOICE N sponsored by BRIAN STRAND - RANKED 2ND Originally posted on September 21, 2019

"Bell bottom pants Precisely creased Bright shirts with poofy sleeves" Yes! I used to refer to them as "hip hugger bell bottoms" and boy did I think they were something! Thank you for the memory.

so cute... I remember those days - I live in a small town and it was still like that for years. Only the kids don't drive around the square and sit at the little curbside diner anymore.. sadly. Your poem brought back memories. Blessings
