"sixties" I speak in tongues apart of martyrdom and sacrifice when soup cans were art and cigarettes were underpriced peace hung around one's neck an albatross of disrespect when communal love was "free" to take, or make, or "let it be" cut wisdom teeth on teenage angst and count your losses on the news when "bingo" was a game of ranks that numbered names to win or lose "where have all the flowers gone" what happened to them in the song coming home they don't belong to honor, duty, right or wrong mad monk, prophet priests holy hippie heretic beliefs jaded judas beggar thief broken bottled ghostly grief in the sewered city street these are surely your forgotten youth writhing in your "wonder years" from insufficient breast fed fears crying gothic griefless tears darkness drives but no one steers allegiance always to your peers tattoos piercing deafened ears believing only your begotten though the sixties fathered social change the "generation gap" remains rebellious spirit reigns in ever new directions closed captioned in a single frame we have no one else to blame for our future's acute pain drains from chronic dire infections [This message has been edited by coyote (edited 04-14-2001).] |

Well...I'm kind of going back myself lately. I'm hearing music from the 60s and 70s. It's amazing. I enjoyed this poem a lot. I felt it completely even though I was born in the 80s. Great job on this one coyote.  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. |

Thanks, Javier. I changed the ending a little since you read it. See what you think? "I hate quotes, they suck!" |

Maybe the next time you could call it "Opus 2" and submit it again. This seems like a different poem now, but the original is gone. Would have been more fun to compare the two. Hmmm. Gives me an idea . . . submitting multiple forms of the "same" poem. Problem is, my versions get all scribbled together and it's a mess. Oh well . . . Kraw' Krawdad |

Glad ya noticed, Kraw. Like I told ya, "It's a work in progress." Nobody ever said it was done. Maybe it ain't yet? lol If I "dare to compare" Perhaps "A Starry Night" began as "A Field of Sunflowers"? And I might of asked Van Gough, "Whydya cut yer ear off man?" lol Thanks, Krawdad.

Why thank you, Amy. "Trippy" is an appropriate word I think? lol And you are very keen on words. "I hate quotes, they suck!" |
