Premium Member Our Music Was Is the Best

It’s funny how each generation thinks their music is the best
that the songs of their youth are the best songs…
and how each generation knows that they are right…
and every other generations out there must be wrong…

For instance my generation listened to the Beatles, the Jackson 5…
we felt like dancing…we came alive.
We listened to James Taylor and Stevie Wonder too.
Karen Carpenter…what a voice…Simon and Garfunkel was a choice,
we listened to Three Dog Night and a band called the Guess Who.

There was Norman Greenbaum, the Temptations…the tunes of our young generation
with the music playing our heartbeats all increased.
We could have been a little smarter…we did listened to Patches by Clarence Carter
okay, we were eclectic to say the least.

Neil Diamond kept us grooving…The Supremes kept us moving
We listened to 8 track tapes inside our cars.
We sang along with the Kinks and Four Tops…we danced without shoes at sock hops
Credence Clearwater Revival we affectionately called CCR.

In sharing this music with each other…we became our sisters and our brothers.
We liked the way the music moved…we liked its rhyme.
Why…is difficult to say…but music had a way
of linking us all together over time.

And though it’s hard now to behold…how we and our music have grown old
separated by time and often distance
I’m sure my generation would agree…even those who sang off-key
those songs were vital to the heart of our existence.

Which is why we not only have a knack…but we love looking back…
and listening to those wonderful old songs…
I imagine that’s why whenever we hear…a song from our past…we cheer
and why we pump up the volume…and sing along.

So my case…I must now rest…it’s plain the music from my generation is the best…
and why the songs from our youth are the best songs…
And though you might have the temptation…to think the same about your generation..
I’m sorry to say…you would be wrong.

Natural Soporific Narcotic

Natural soporific narcotic

Recurrent suicidal thoughts 
vaingloriously wend along winding road
within windmills of my mind

slow as adam and the ants, 
thru fifty shades of gray's

MAGA Make America Gentle Again

I like the heroic America of World War II;...
The America champion of good technology...
The America that freed us from the damned little mustache...
The America of Hollywood, of cinema,
Of black soul music, of Doo Wop,
Soft rock of Credence Clearwater Simon, Bob Dylan
Folklore... Woodie Guthrie, Peter Seeger,
Peter, Paul, Mary, mixed with country and blues,
Poets like Walt Withman, Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost. BEAT POETS...
The America of Frank Lloyd W. Edison, OTHERS...
Not an America with dyed hair and greed
madness for money and power...men colored
in yellow who only think of domination,
and submission of others, without thinking of brotherhood among peoples...
MAGA Make America Gentle Again

Catie Lindsey

Trust cannot be a red flag, loving what time one has left!
No one is meant to be lonely,
When one has only left the time that one has.
Normal women and men want the same thing, to share
With the other the time one has left.

A large open heart where one you have shared, leaves
One hurt like a rose brutally cut down in the bud.
The forest the tree's the bushes and leaves, nature cuts,
The gardeners hand held out it is empty.

Empty of harm when all around him is green, green and soft
His voice should be warm to your ear,
people are watching his heart on your sleeve is their snow?
I resent public forums, where all can hear what one writes.
Wanting love is not quite desperation,desperate to love is what
Can keep us yes searching.

To other's speak no more than you need to, there is another that
Wants to know more about you.
Advice freely given by me I would say, go to www.poemhunter.com
Where one can send messages, without other's knowing your happiness
Or pain, your photo is honest and your picture it tell.
I live in the south in Clearwater Florida.


Premium Member My Mom

Feathered Brazilian brown hair with eyes that match.
Red lips,Skinny brows with mascara thick on each lash.
Skin tone honey roasted cashew.
Body scarred from self harm and all she had been through.
Felonies,misdemeanors and a diploma.
From Great kills,Staten Island to the beaches of Clearwater and Sarasota.
Vodka on the rocks with a splash of diet coke. 
Mirror, a straw and lines of coke.
She always made you laugh With every joke.
Even though,Throughout my childhood my mom was an addict.
There is no other women, I would of rather spent my life with.
Taught me how to be ok with surviving by myself.
Showed me some life choices will have you buried or displayed on a shelf.
I’ve learned from all your mistakes. So, I choose love over wealth.
I was born the black sheep to break the family cycle for my own health.
To ensure, I face the life. I try to create with my best self.

Premium Member Rain Over Vietnam

There is the calm before the rain
It’s almost silent all around
The clouds expectant in the sky
Foreboding birds are homeward bound.

The soldiers stare at looming clouds
There is the calm before the rain
And yet there’s tension in the air
Will all this waiting be in vain?

They know the feeling well enough
The sun gets left out in the cold 
There is the calm before the rain
They have to be prepared and bold.

The sound of planes will soon be heard
Torrential bombs will fall again
But ‘til the heavens burst in floods
There is the calm before the rain. 

-----------------------------------------------------------
Inspired by the song “Have you ever seen the rain?”
Sung by Credence Clearwater Revival.
With underlying reference to the Vietnam War.

Premium Member MEMORIES IN THE SAND

We visited the Sugar Sand Festival on Clearwater Beach
where we saw sculptures in the sand.
Sculptures created by professional artists celebrating
a time when dinosaurs roamed the land.

As we viewed the sculptures so magnificent…so wondrous and grand
we were reminded of a time with our children and grandchildren
when we built castles in the sand.

Ours were not professional in any way…our little castles in the sand
created using little plastic shovels and pails and packed down with our hands.

But to a family on the beach who saw not with our eyes but with our hearts
they weren’t just castles in the sand…they were impressive works of art.

The more we walked through the sculptures rising majestically out of the sand
the more we drifted back and forth between a time when dinosaurs
then children, then grandchildren roamed the land.

And once again we realized as we walked together hand in hand
how life slips by so quickly just like dinosaurs…
children growing up…and castles in the sand.

We shared a bittersweet moment walking in the sand that day
On the one hand sad that so much time has so quickly slipped away.

But so thankful, happy and excited on the other hand…
for having had the chance to make so many memories in the sand.
