    America plagued by terror
      Murder and hate wherever you turn

    Country gone the way of Watts, ‘65

Fragment Sixty Six Point Two

Apart from each other we've grown
Time spent with me, away you've thrown
Thanks for letting me drown alone
Right way to learn, to me, you've shown

Sixty-Nine Reasons

I spread her wanting derriere as making love unto she.. 
Perfect sweetness; cumming, and all I could do was enjoy while 
My heart raced to catch her haloes breath; sucking, her beautiful breast.

Fragment Sixty Eight Point Two

in a series of stops and starts
on bouncing back and broken hearts
vicious cycle of love and hate
all you want can blame your fate

each time i close my eyes, i see
someone struggling, fighting, it's me

Why is the number sixty-nine so important to us guys Why not seventy-two or thirty-six or even five Always puzzled me Sends me up a tree Now there's a thought, but must be hard on the thighs

Premium Member Sixty Per Cent Water

so much beauty 
in this world 
that I must blink 
with astonishment
to hold back my tears.
If I could not blink 
I fear, sixty per cent 
of who I am, 
would leave me, 
in their abject eagerness 
to kiss the earth.

Premium Member will their memories last sixty years like mine

gold leaf murals sparkling on old fashioned carousel
memories from years ago float into my riding brain
I watch the other riders, barely noticing Eiffel Tower
wondering if their memories will last sixty years like mine.

Premium Member The Sixty-Four Dollar Question

Now that my love is the sixty-four dollar question.
Named for a TV show back in the 40’s, before most of you were born.
Maybe even before your parents were born.
And guess what the grand prize was in the 40’s?
You guessed it!

Premium Member Over Sixty Years

     Will I meet you at ninety
just two and one-half years away?
Will the time between now and then
     help encourage me to stay
to gather more fine days beyond
and still share my old heart with love?
     I'm doing my best each day.

Premium Member OVER SIXTY YEARS

Since I am over sixty, 
Me, people try to console!
They give all advice to soothe my soul!						
I tell them that I am in fine fettle,
They fail to understand my mettle!
I tell them not to be sympathetic!
Who listens? Each one is apathetic!

Nine Sixty Nine

Am having a birthday party
and many are invited,
please, each bring a candle
and I'll surely try to light it

There will not be a special cake
with lit candles, sing "tra la la,"
just don't mention nine sixty nine,
only "Many more, Methusalah"

Fragment Sixty Eight Point 9

terrified that you might lose me
petrified with the "you and me"
yes, the best things in life are free
and from you i want to be free
 
we add, we remove and we keep
promises at times we don't keep
on you, on us, i'm losing sleep
i'm done counting a herd of sheep

Sixty Seconds Of My Mistake

A French cafe in time and space,
where I would face,
you sitting there,
with your eclair.

One minute where worlds collided,
fates decided,
to my regret, 
that our eyes met.

Sixty seconds of my mistake,
at buying cake,
stood in that queue,
when I blamed choux.

Premium Member Woodstock Sixty Years Later

a musical trio
livening up the prairie
enthusiastic beatnik dog on bongo drums
terrifically talented tambourine-playing Tomcat
Romanian beauty with flashing eyes with a ukulele
people arrive to sing along and dance
it feels like the seventies

Premium Member Sixty Not Out

Who is the Queen? When all is said and done. A nice old lady who wears nice hats And in life has had a decent run. Her servants do the weekly shopping. She watches Corrie when at home. And maybe like you she reads the Sun Whilst seated on the throne.

Premium Member Sixty Years, Oh My

Skinny as Twiggy was in
    Flat as a board
  Not a millimeter sticking out
    Not even her pout

  Now it's all about curves
    And 'bubble-butts'
  Sticking out as far down there
    As a dislocated jaw might jut

  Friends, as far as this man's concerned
    ~ Either way, intimacy's spurned

Premium Member Three-Hundred and Sixty-Five Days

Three-hundred and sixty-five days
Twenty-four hours spent
Could the days left be better used
Each designed with intent

This time in life with health going
What could be done each day?
Restore peace, life, and well-being
To the world come what may  

Some thoughts inspired by the movie "The Good Lie"

I met me on the podium of time, saw sixty years old wrinkles on the face, with eyes scanning charted road to be walked, lighted by the senile sun of twilight. Looked back at the path of promise traveled, felt I’d walk quite content to the dark end, not count the footsteps to cross the last mile.

Premium Member A Rhyme In Sixty - the River and the Moon

The river’s a ribbon on which we row. The moon is a placid blossom of gold, for we, passion-souled, imagine it so! Mirrored in water’s each soft rippling fold is Luna’s lovely pale petal-faced glow and we are sailing on blue silk’s smooth flow! Jan. 28, 2017 for the Contest of Laura Loo

Sixty Seconds

Sixty Seconds 

By: Ricky Jones 

 

I have only just a minute 

Only sixty seconds in it, 

Forced upon me, can’t refuse it, 

Didn’t seek it, didn’t choose it, 

But it’s up to me – to use it, 

I must suffer if I lose it, 

Give account if I abuse it, 

Just a tiny little minute 

But eternity is destiny in it.

Sixty

You just turned sixty and you're feeling blue.
You think that you're old but that's not true.
It's true that you're no longer young but you're not over the hill.
You think that your useful days are over but that's not how you should feel.
You still have a lot to offer to society.
You think you are old but that's not how you look to me.
