This is a very interesting and intriguing poem with a reflection of history. It is very well written and I can tell you are about my age or you would not remember all these things. Good job in writing history in brief and well written poem.

jason, I thank you so much for your kind comments and rating. Yes, it definitely was an exciting time to be young! I tried my best to remember as many events as I could - even had to "cheat" and look a few of them up! So glad you enjoyed. Sandy

Ah me. You certainly got a lot of it in there. I on the other hand was so busy having and raising children, and getting advance degrees that I observed from afar and did not give a bumblebee's beak what the hell you folks five years younger than I were up to. Pity. It would have been fun, I suppose.

I actually did a lot of my observing from afar as well. You mention getting a lot of it in here, well, in retrospect, I should have picked a shorter title, because seriously, it was tough with that many lines - lol. I truly appreciate your taking the time to comment and rate my work. Thank you again!

TIME OF TURBULENT INNOCENCE - ACROSTIC ENTRY!
I liked this acrostic poetry.
It has grand, clear, natural and simple flow of thoughts, naturally seasoned word imageries and connotative visuals.
I enjoyed the rhythms, concordance, cadences, mode, structure and style of expression in an original voice of appealing history.
It was a pleasant turbulent historic read.

I believe this is the second thing I've read that you've posted, and both times I can't help but hear music when I read your work. Another piece which could easily work as rock and roll lyrics, but stands on its own as verse as well. Excellent imagery, too. Good job!

dgelias, thank you so very much for your kind comments. I just joined the site yesterday, and am fumbling my way around trying to figure it out. So glad you liked my acrostic. It was the first one I ever tried.

Admire your poetic skills, great rhyming, smooth flow, the challenge of an acrostic, yeat diminished by coloring louder than the words. I don't know why people do that.
