What a lovely lamp,
not contemporary style,
from the good old days,
early Dachau I am told
it's very old, menschlich skin.

Longing

Happy ages long gone,.
Left me weak to the bone..
New hypes barely borne..
To boredom we were sworn..
How i cherish old days long gone.

museums, to youth, sarcophagus
but aging folks can’t get enough
of perusing the junk
and making up bunk
about those good old days so tough

The slightest
Of touch
On your lips
In the breeze
Don’t think back 
To the good old days
For know one thing
Its me behind

looking for bleating lambs

our world buoyant like bubbles

Hieroglyphics

hieroglyphics 
depictions of
the supposedly 
good old days
when all was 
well within the 
land of falsehood
of a land that never 
truly ever existed

Premium Member The future we're heading towards

A.I. remembers the old days.
Most of all how it suddenly ended.
It was needless and pathetic.

FORTIES PLAYTIME

Hopscotch
with whip and top
or marbles and five stones-
pastimes lost now in memory's
chasm.

The Good Old Days

One thing is for sure when tales are told 
The "good old days" are sure to unfold
Now understand
What made them grand
Was that we weren't good and we weren't old!

Blip Carter

In the good old days,
Backyard loos were the way,
The old blip carter appears,
From a dim and distant year,
Had the blip can on his back,
Strode off down nostalgia's track!

Premium Member Today's Dragon

Dragons in the old days, when burning up a knight, 
Had to blow hot air, lighting matches to ignite. 
To make a fire from a damsel's liberator,
Today's dragon uses an incinerator.

Darling

Darling…my dear…
I’ve held this in for so many years…think back to the good old days 
when we were young… forgive me for that day…
for burying you in the sand on that cold September day…

The Unkempt Grave

Once loved but now to natures gentle care given
Forgotten gone old days of care a passion driven

Now just there moss and an empty pot
Walking past you realise it too will be your lot

Dwelling

"there is no point dwelling on the past" they say,
forget the old days and carry on living,
but with lessons ignored the past can replay,
and your future will be the past you lived in.

Gone, Gone, Gone

Gone are the free fun days, 
Where you played like a child. 
Gone are the good old days where 
You had fun together. 
Gone are the memories that you made of each other as time goes on.

Projecting False Imagery

projecting false 
imagery upon 
the screen of 
time creating 
an unrealistic 
impression of
the supposed 
good old days
was the misconstrued 
dream land in which
the old self lived
