Vintage Retro Period


As for our periods of furniture–
not sure if Vintage Retro's one!
However, since I spanned so many years,
it seems to me this should be done!

My influence can still be seen in homes.
Some people often think it strange,
to cling to my old Vintage Retro look
and never want to make a change.

So pleased my unique period ruled well –
for thirty years I did endure!
My decades had a flavor of their own– 
so powerful was my allure!

My special time was dominated by
the colors green, orange, and gold;
Formica, Lucite, vinyl, walnut, chrome – 
outstanding – very sleek and bold.

My Vintage Retro period – well-loved 
by most – did fade away, its true.
Still Retro-furnished homes are so enjoyed
by visitors who get a view.

My long-remembered items bring a crowd
at Vintage Retro store displays! 
The prices paid are unbelievable –
so pleased I'm worth much more these days!

To prove my point, you might take time to see
the photo grouping up above!
My Vintage Retro gems still grace their home
forever more for them to love!

How fun to cherish something from a different time period. We are also collectors..., one of my favorite ways to spend a day, is in an old thrift shop, or flea market.....looking for one more jewel! Congrats on a well crafted poem!
