Twentynet - 60s Loss of Innocence

(TWENTYNET - 60s) LOSS OF INNOCENCE Fab four Psychedelic colors LSD powered yellow submarine Ragas and flower children Great Society Female Liberation Black Power San Francisco State of innocence - Garden of Eden Shake off shackles of this earth Space race Gagarin Armstrong Ask not what you can do With a man on the moon Ask rather what happened to Camelot And the limitless power of illusion Serpent’s destruction of dreams Khe-Sanh state of siege Detroit burning Disunited states . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Written by Sydney Peck for Nette Onclaud’s contest MAGIC OF DECADE'S MOOD TWENTYNET - 60 s

Yet another AWESOME 60's write. All the ones for this decade are so dang good, gosh, how can mine compete? I knew nearly all the references you made in this one. Love how you put your ideas together using terms from the 60's!

oh Andrea don't be so modest LOL...... I will no doubt wake up in a couple of weeks, check the contest results, and find your name about 4 centimetres or more above mine in the list.......as usual ( only joking ). Actually this is the first time I have entered such a contest.....i usually stay away (reason= fear) from these 2 word/4 word/6word/etc arrangements....also I avoid haikus/senryus/etc for same reason...best wishes as always
