Notes About The Poem

Written July 18 2026 for contest Tye Dye In July sponsor Anthony Bianco

Tye Dye In July

Tye dye in July
60s shirt now revised
Bellbottom jeans hug backside
Long lean with dreamy eyes

Colorful fireworks in night sky
Red white blue patriotic pride
America so cool despite it’s lies
Many come find new life new tries

They’ll find joy they’ll find peach pain
Surprised by the voids and green games
How annoyed that money allows gains
Lady Liberty can see but can she change

Change the fuchsia fallacy creating a coup 
Verify violet validity unveiling turquoise truth
Retiring old men fat of old money old dreams
Inspiring future generations keep persevering

The poem's flow is seamless, and the use of metaphors gives depth to the portrayal of summer. It's a delight to read; congratulations on your contest win, dear Karen.
