"I like Ike" buttons
A car in every garage
Life was slower then

Duck down and cover
Stay away from the windows
Civil Defense drills

Drive in movie shows
Stangely steamy car windows
mosquito coils aglow

Back seat car speakers
Tuned to your schools station
Play this song for me

I remember then
Like a page from a year book
Long ago in dreams

paladin

....a knight without armor

Wonderful Robert!
You know how I love these!
Wish they would bring back the drive-in movies!

~The breeze that kissed you on the face,
    Has held me in the same embrace~

I thoroughly enjoyed this nostalgic piece of poetry superbly written in the form of senryus!

(big hugggssssss) Awwwwwww, I wish I lived back then, dearest friend, I dream so much of seeing a drive-in movie with my dream girl in the future and pretend going back to yesterday! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Robert, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
