Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Love In 1967

her heart was shanghaied
captured on a sunny beach
with waves lapping happily
in a nineteen sixty-seven day

Beach Boys were singing
From a portable transistor
wind carried happy laughter
he had flecks of gold in his eyes

They were in love
So she let him 
put lotion on her back
A brave move for these times

Gershon Wolf April 16, 2020 at 11:25 PM Ha ha! Wonder if that lotion turned into a love potion! :) gw Caren Krutsinger April 16, 2020 at 11:49 PM Probably; it usually does.

Ann Gilmour April 16, 2020 at 9:23 AM Wow, I truly love these gorgeous words Caren, I am there on that beach looking into those golden flecked eyes! This is almost playing music in my head the imagery is so strong. Thank you dear Caren. With kindest thoughts Ann xx Caren Krutsinger April 16, 2020 at 7:18 PM I loved the sixties- an innocent time before I knew about war.
