The Arcade

Saturday morning
It's a beautiful day
Walking towards
my favorite hangout
A local arcade
Tons of video games to choose
I find what I like
A action-shoot
I add somes coins in
And off I go
Shooting aliens left and right
Gaining high score
I haven't lost a life yet
My score goes higher
I have a audience
They're all impress
I've reach the final boss
Time to get serious
I'm sweating, I'm

1980s childhood

1980s childhood Haikus

Tech-free

Nature's performing
Batteries not included
childhood playground 


My bike

Pink banana seat
A basket full of daisies
Warm wind on my face


Saturdays

Cartoons and breakfast
The sky our only roof top
Street lights call us home

When I Was Twentysomething 1980s

I saw a man die who took a stance
I saw he just wanted to give peace a chance

I saw the boycotts and the embargoes
I saw trafficking in human cargos

I saw hedge funds, junk bonds, oil and gold
I saw a woeful deficit in the Third World

I saw a royal prince and princess in a carriage
I saw

Inquisitive 
On this at at this time I feel what is missing
It rarely shows itself but does now
Why I don’t know?
The very rare feeling missing is this

That I have no family of my own

No blood lines to continue my lineage
My parents are dead and I’ve no siblings
Nor do I have and children of my own

Not

Remembering the 1980s

Regarding fashion,Punk set out to gauge
The style of hair and clothes which would outrage.
John Lennon's voice was silenced at this time;
Mark Chapman was convicted for the crime.

A technical development unfurled
Which launched the first PC into the world.
And Cable television could diffuse
A twenty-four hour coverage of news.

Professor Rubik came from Budapest
And introduced a spatial IQ test.

Remembering the 1980s

When I look back in time, I recall the 1980’s;
I fell into the Rubik’s Cube and still have not escaped.

Not even upon hearing of, John Lennon’s killing, could I escape the thing, in fact, it kept me from diving into a mournful funk.  

I celebrated “ET’s” visit by treating myself; I bought the video,

1980s the Start Of

In this day of corporate illusion
One only the historic can counter,
Soon one day the culture of delusion
Will reign as all those whom encounter,
When all passed away in resolution
The problem written into the annals,
While those that are left fed on pollution
The results of educated finals.
One's cultural genocide of blindness
Simplicity with common sense destroyed,
Yet the poet’s truth

Young love had finally made its way back into the 1980s and all of those teenage lovebirds
back in the 80s were so "totally gnarly." The 80s was when MTV made its TV channel debut,
the first cell phone was invented, and when a lot of people were born in that decade, that
had included Julia Stiles (born

Teenage Love 2: Teenage Lovers of the 1980s, 1990s, and the 21st Century

All of the then-teenage lovebirds have been in love with each other since the day disco
