How did you reach into my head, telling my story? Or at least some plump slices of my world. I cried the day Mark David Chapman killed John Lennon. Clever play on "butt". I plan to rage on with you. I'm with you and Dylan Thomas. I shall not go gentle into thy good night.

This was a fun poem to read, even with the "naughty" words in it. I'm sorry if you have had trouble with people rating you down because of that, I feel as though people should just move on! This is a great poem@

Comment from fictionwriter
This is soooo funny. Yeah it's so true that you can feel like nothing can get you down, until you get older and it smacks you between the eyes. Well done.

Another poem on reflection and another winning entry. Great use of rhythm and repetition. A nice throw-back to the hippie time and free love with all of the beads!!! Debbie

Comment from J. Dark
I thought this was extremely well done and I love the concept of going forward in time to compare attitudes. The humour within the words was an absolute joy and your "naughty cuss words" sat perfectly and were totally meant to be there!
Kind regards,
Mrs D

I love this piece and how you reflect two types of views. or a time warp, if you will. It's a great piece, takes me back and I love that.

Comment from ekpoet11
Super poem. super rhythm to it, I love the sixties feel to the language, it brings it back for me, that time and place. I also liked the contrast with where you have arrived now, still with parts of those feelings and ideas of the sixties with you, that same sense of language, but amore mature, mellowed, grown into your obligations. lovely job with this piece ekpoet11

You do my heart good to add a double dose of stimulus to my morning coffee my dear - thank you so much for enjoying my flashback journey, and also the subtle changes that take place with aging, but hopefully without too much quenching of the spirit! Bless you for you magic '6'! Best wishes, Sharyn

WOW!! What an enjoyable poem! It is so fan and nostalgic at the same time. It brings back so many memories. You really know Visionary, how to expressed sentiments.
A VERY COOL JOB!!

You are what Abba the movie is all about - and you have handled it well, and kept the whole rhythm of the poem going throughout. Well done. Well done for winning too.

Comment from Selestia
This is so cute. I was never part of the flower power movement, but I was around at that time. The closest I got was wearing a leather vest with 12 inch fringe on the bottom and tying a scarf around my head Indian style. I really like the part from the present about "who needs clothes? I do! 'cause things bounce around a lot more
than before". Unfortunately, that one little thing keeps us from doing a lot of things we used to do. Very nice poem. Brought back lots of memories.
