SUMMER OF LOVE




RWP#96
using all the prompt words
in bold


SUMMER OF LOVE

Rolling up into the land of purity
searching for that awakened state of bliss
and some cosmoramic exhibition
of shocking enlightenment
listening to Mother Tuckers Yellow Duck
giving us insight into irresistible false kisses
from their invisible memory candles
before it exploded inside the jars of our head
then surrender to the long tailed thrasher Bill
and his non vowelized poetry
who would always croak in a language
of a capricious professor
from the progeny of some learning school
then surrendering in vehement denial
to Mock Duck and circumcisions
while bleeding insolent behaviour
towards the prison farms
and asylums using a therapy of chelations
to detox the chemicals from brains
not allowing a socially responsible investment
in free speech
we were the Kitsilano reprobates
exulting peace love and pot.

How Beat, Wayne! Start to finish, every word, every line is a mood pusher. Great pounding rhythm. Wonderful!

I can almost hear Grace Slick and Jefferson Airplane...You do a great job planting some tough prompt words in the poem's smooth, beat cadence. Great stuff going on here: "memory candles", "exploded in the jars of our heads", "we were the Kitsilano reprobates exulting peace love and pot."

Wow. I never thought to use the words to evoke the sixties. But they're perfect. Wonderful imagery.
