Trippy Hippy

What's wrong with Hippies,
who like taking trippies
or smoke funny ciggies.
Freedom of mind, while brain is reclined,
no longer blind, the answers I find,
connections that bind, while time hits rewind.

Wisdom

When we’re young and prefer sagging trousers, we're left-wingers, we're hippies, carousers. Then we age and grow wise, cause our trousers to rise, and send soldiers to shoot rabble-rousers.

Premium Member Henry David Thoreau

American naturalist, essayist, philosopher, poet, teacher and transcendentalist.
He pursued spiritual growth through denial of worldly pleasures and simple living.
He left society to live apart in a small cabin as one of the first hippies to exist.

See Lows Can Please

What the flip was CeeLo Green
Doing on the X Factor looking keen?
In a dress of yellow and pink flowers 
With flaccid, psychedelic powers?

I felt as if I was back in the 60s,
Drifting high with the hippies,
I was sent to planet Zigzag,
In need of a sedating jag.

Premium Member Faeries and Sprites

Faeries and sprites flitting among the thistles and the daisies.
Sitting at the base of the violets, strumming easy listening guitars.
So, this is where the hippies go, observed a new arrival.
Understanding there are many levels of heaven.
And we gravitate to the one we relate to the hardest.

Premium Member hippies were on the right path

hippies were on the right path.
They wanted people to love each other.
Of course being mean to soldiers was wrong.
And following cult leaders is never okay.

But they had the love part right.
They were trusting and open.
And their clothes were instrumental
in allowing fashion to be punky and fun.

Premium Member I Love my Paintings

Horses, spiders, dragons, fat cats
Hippies, pirates, witches, black bats
Flowers, mushrooms, clouds and such
I love my paintings very much

Cartooning is a language I love to speak
My paints are fluorescent, the brightest peak
I have so much fun drawing up the fey
Painting enlightens me every day

Premium Member Good Times

In the peace love seventies
Preached to forgive our enemies
Growing up our freedom breezy
The lovin’ was made easy
Woodstock hippies in bell bottoms
Singing ballads on through autumns
Hitchhikers up thumbing muscle cars
Guitar strumming sweet mellow bars
Long hair beads under stars
Campfires looking up at Mars

Looking

I knew a guy who was raised by hippies, he had never needed to undress a female with his eyes, but he lost his enthusiasm for sex. Every woman knows the art of being covered and naked at the same time. I used to do a lot of imaginative looking, now I stand around jawing - just another old guy, and women don't look at me at all.

Bourgeoise Hippies

Bourgeoise Hippies

Littering your hallways with gold-painted plaster ?
Buddhas and empty singing bowls.
Building shrines and burning sage.
Eating leaves and teaching Yoga

Your mirrors are covered in dust.?
You drown your ignorance of compassion 
In a  shallow pool of consciousness.
All the while disregarding the comforts of your privilege.

Whispers the Light

Christmas tree 
window alight 
for a winter dream rhyme
a day
a season
a suspension within time
drift
where snow rests
upon a soul's silence
whispers the light
carrying the night
quest for a reason
to see
beyond the mirror
hippies lost in a circle rhythm
where water calls
falls to truth
drifts the echoes of peace
on earth...

Premium Member my scribbling is consistent

my scribbling is consistent
scrolls, spirals, three-dimensional boxes
mushroom houses, flowers, stars
witches, pirates, unicorns
gardens, trees, clouds, grass
daisies, hippies, dragons, cattails
cats, dogs, mice and frogs
my scribbles are consistent
if you ask children who meet me
who drew those things
most of them will point at me
my drawings are steadily redundant

Premium Member The Gemini Artist In Me

Hippies, dogs, cats, pirates, and flowers
My paintings are oozing with magical powers.
Women with hair of every color, pattern and hue,
Painted in pinks, silvers, purples and electric blue.

Steadily working on canvases during the day,
Dragons, unicorns, turtles stop by to say “hey”.
I usually have four to five going with castles sublime.
A Gemini spirit, I cannot work on one at a time.

In a Cloud of Smoke

Long ago in a Laundromat
A couple of hippies just met
One asked the other if he smoked weed
He replied, "Every chance I get!"

With the police station next door
Behind the building's where they went
But soon became quite worried 
Alarmed by the smokes ascent!

Frantically swatting at the cloud
They quickly gave up the attack
When they saw they were standing
In front of a vent in the back!

Dime Bag Days

Take me back to the dime bag days
     when we were hotel hippies, 
thirsty for trouble and stuck in a state 
     of delirium.

Our souls were scattered messes
     among the unbent hills - 
dreaming of rebellion and freedom,
     pockets empty, heart's empty 

Having no sense of direction and 
     craving toxicity like it is a 
natural remedy. We were walking
     disasters, baddie two shoes.

Premium Member My Personal Flag

My personal flag will have to include a dragon.
Fierce and fabulous, in oranges and hot pink.
Faeries of course, and a booby cartoon woman.
At least sixteen colors, enhanced with black ink.

Hearts, hippies, cats, dogs, mushrooms and super gold stars.
Elves and pixies with roses, to make it sweet.
Yellow daisies, box turtles and a happy face from Mars,
Peacocks and witches would maybe make it complete.

Hippies

So succinct 
To watch the eyes blink
Under cover of sleep
In shadow turn's 
The night burn's 
Psychedelic vision's in miles
Of open fields 
Dancing the breeze
Beyond the tree's 
Guitar's strum the chords of gun shot
Flower petals 
The band play astray
Festival mud and free love
To blistered children 
Drug beaten into submissiveness 
Reciting dead poet's 
Works of post art haze
In a glaze of Glory
