Is knowing what's known
enough, or must you know it
beyond the pretense
to feelings and perception ~
with bright light glow in its shine

Temptation, Vade Retro

o temptation
         ó glamor
         enticement !
        By God or 
        devil I beg;
        proceed in peace 
        or Vade retro   !!!

Retro

Last fall I took time watching a falling leaf,

Underneath it was something like my name

When I could clearly see,it became another name

I took the leaf and head back home in disbelief

Premium Member I Love Lucy

The fifties brought on dazzling star Lucille
Zany and bubbly she was ideal 
O like no other sitcom
Pure entertainment for Mom
Laughing at each week's new crazy ordeal

Childhood Retro

When I was a child
I like to go outside of the house
Because staying at home is boring
Growing up, I like to go back home
Because life outside is boring. 

If I could go back the past 
Once in my life
I would like to have
An innocent childhood life
Back then.

Retro - the Ever Fashionable Oppression of Women

A modern trimming,
Grin and bear it.
The slap of a buckle,
Reminiscent of the squeeze.
Laces bloodied,
From a prayer of acceptance.
Breathing is optional.

The shove to a corner,
Start early for pattern recognition,
Bind the idea prematurely.
Numbed pain,
Limited motion.
Embrace wind through the long locks,
It's only an illusion of progression.

Retro

“I’m not old – I’m retro”
Says the sign that looks antique.
I bought it ‘cause I liked 
Its sassy message, tongue-in-cheek.

But really, who embraces old
Or elderly or aged?
Why, even senior can be wrong
When someone’s years are gauged.

So I will stick with retro
‘Cause it sounds so cool and hip.
Come join my Retro club – 
It’s an exclusive membership!
