Notes About The Poem

voting, fall, midterms

life happens.
It’s fall, it’s midterms
It’s election time.

New Haven’s giving a lot of fall.
I’ve been starting to feel the chills,
but things are turning cold and extra breezy,
so it all maks sense.

The good and bad can coexist closely,
is our energy dropping? Nope.

Whenever I think of voting,
I go back to American Idol.
My first voting experience.
It was 2009 and I was 14.
I was into Adam Lambert.
he didn’t win, and sure, I felt
a child's appreciable sense of outrage
millions and millions of us did
but we didn’t storm FOX Network
We cried into pillows and took it in stride.
Now Adam sings with Queen.
So I guess it worked out.

Songs for this
??Bohemian Rhapsody by Adam Lambert
Do It Again (feat. Carolyn Leonhart & Robert Smith) by The Juju Orchestra

Quoth Theraven October 25, 2024 at 8:16 PM Anais, Sitting here watching Pretty in Pink on Pluto TV. Decided I needed some stimulating intelligence in my night. Didn't think I would find it in a poem that referenced American Idol, so thanks for the whit I've come to respect over the years. You (almost) never fail. -Richard Anais Vionet October 26, 2024 at 6:06 AM Thank you, Richard. =]

Hilda Greenhough October 23, 2024 at 2:28 PM You have a good memory. I never heard of Adam Lambert. I do agree that winter weather is starting. I'm ready to accept fate and be done with elections. I like your poem. It's a day brightener. Anais Vionet October 23, 2024 at 3:59 PM Thanks Hilda =]
