Some Say 'Love-In'

I must be fourteen days away from home Standin' in the rain thumbin' for a ride Kerouac said that it was good to roam He must have wandered before the sun died Went soul searchin', didn't learn a damn thing Already knew I didn't like the cold I came out here to rejoice and to sing Didn't find that love that others have told Never saw that blonde with the stringy hair The blue eyed one with open toed sandals I've seen her picture with the shoulders bare Carryin' flowers and scented candles It's not so easy out here bein' free Some say "love-in" - couldn't prove it by me 1-18-18

A spectacular sonnet Larry of a bygone era of free love and flower power and finding oneself.. only to find out that one didn't have to hitch cross country to find what already was, or wasn't, inside their hearts' all along.. Brilliant poetry! Congratulations on your wonderful win. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

You know, sometimes stuff sounds too good to be true. You can abandon it all to recreate an expectation, but it just doesn't always happen. As much as it is sad to think of the failure, I like how honest this poem is. very well done.
