Decade Poems - Poems about Decade

Balloons ascend, a vibrant, joyful hue, Embraced by warmth, a day both fresh and new. Radiant smiles, like sunbeams, are bright and clear, Now memories bloom, banishing all fear. All wishes whispered, on a gentle breeze, Dreams take their flight, among the rustling trees. Enchanting moments, laughter's sweet refrain, Treasured memories, washing out all pain. Time's gentle passage, a revelry's art, Eternal happiness, a...

what if what we had was temporary a momentary glance of happiness of freedom of joy of reckless youth a time of love and carelessness maybe that was where our memory is supposed to stay maybe it wasn’t meant to continue on into this decade.

As I meander 'neath bougainvillea's resplendent flare, A lachrymose tear descends, delicate and rare. It glides o'er my visage, where memories dwell - Nostalgia pirouettes in an ephemeral spell. A fragile form, each breath a whispered plea, Cracked like ice beneath a trembling sea, Whiffs of solace levitating from amma's lap, A delicate darling, like a rose dew on morning's nap. Once...

Turn up the radio and ... It's the same ol' situation, The same songs, same band That raised my generation That was then, this is now Nothing's changed but my age, And four numbers, somehow On a calendar's page ... It happened again today In the store where I shopped, In the restaurant, I heard it play Proving the 80's never stopped That...

What a roller coaster it has been The ups and downs and the in-betweens We laugh, we cry , we shout and scream We walk, we run, we hope and we dream We we're tested by times and it's rough And moments when we thought of giving up Though imperfect and at times full of mistery I wouldn't change a thing in...

An old year is slowly winding down Where every minute and second count Don’t hold our breath, just count down Gently and slowly. A new year, a new bout Is coming down the aisle, while an old year Is disappearing or evaporating in the air An old year is gone, an old year is out A brand new day is in, please...

It seems we have traveled a very long way, just to end up where we started from. Still taking most from all, and giving it all to some. The incompetent march and all cry foul, and say that soon their time will come. The farmers all hate the factories, for putting their women on the job. The rich white men hated black men, they...

Dustmen were dirty Shoes had holes Typewriters qwerty Clothes were old School was tough, kids were rough Summers were always, quite cold Three-day week No power at night Week after week another union strike Nothing to do, so early to bed Wake the next day to no loaves of bread No central heating Winters were freezing No phone tweeting Less coughing and sneezing TV was great, watching films late The Friday...

tw suicidal ideation My mind’s fading to dark grey again. I’m like a boat drifting in the storm, struggling above the waves for a second just to go right back under again. I’ve been like this since I was six. Why does death feel So much closer than before? It used to be something I wished for But I knew I...
