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

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
