Phyllis Babcock Poet Verse

Twentynet-60's

Flower children
              colors galore
    summer concerts- screaming crowds
     warm beaches - California girls
               surfin boys
               music- noise

               long hair
              colored skirts
        sideburns long- shirts off
        blue jeans - bare feet
               people power
               world peace
swirling psychedelic colors- smoking magic mushrooms
     the power of love- world message
     entranced by the magical journey
musical bands- rock and roll hot
   crowds screaming- English invasion
     girls swooning- songs rockin'
               flower power
                sixties blast

Judy Ball July 18, 2011 at 8:19 AM I remember it all. Never did the magic mushrooms and all that other stuff though. While the hippies were experimenting with chemicals I was drinking Tiger's Milk and eating health food and pumping iron. I hung out around the body builders. I do miss the innocence and carefree attitude we had back then though. It was a happier time for me. There was this old man that used to call me "hippy girl" and when he would say that I Great write here. God Bless, JB Phyllis Babcock July 19, 2011 at 8:00 AM It was a great time to grow up in. Never did the drug stuff either but loved the colors of that era and the music. Great memories.

Zzzzz Zzzzz May 27, 2011 at 3:46 AM Brilliantly, and poetically, summing up the '60s, Phyl! I was a teenager in the '60s and I still remember some of it...lol. Yes, I had long hair, wore flared jeans and tie-dye T-shirts. We had house parties, playing great music and having a great time. Good luck in the contest! Regards, Robert.

Andrea Dietrich May 25, 2011 at 10:12 PM Phyllis, I think you did a marvelous job just as good as anyone else in this contest, so I don't think you missed anything. I enjoyed how yours played more to the sociological aspect of the 60's, which to me is the most interseting aspect of any decade. The formatting was very cool. Even looked 60's to me! Nice seeing you today, sweetie.LUv, Andrea
