...for Big Tent Poetry
inspired by many poems of the BEATS...
BEATS GO ON
the juke-box keeps playing waltzing matilda
at some broken down amusement park
held together with rubber bands
as the stalled ferris wheel keeps turning
grasping at the shadows of yesterday
where Jesus Rodriguez sang harmony
with four nuns in high heels
in front of a vacant tent
full of midgets dancing in habitual movements
shooting water pistols at the candle smoke
smouldering from their Cuban cigars
and Bogart's flaming tattoo
as the Beats go on
inspired by many poems of the BEATS...

You have captured that beat Kerouac Ginsberg feel. You are truly a beat poet. Canada should make you a national treasure:)
Alas, I'm too young for this, Wayne. Maybe my life has been boring as a result! Well done for evoking their time.
Ah, yes! You spun it right!
You gals and guys are way toooooo kind....I not only enjoy your comments...I really look forward to reading your poems.....living up here in the mountains...well we still are on dial up...so kind of slow and hard to read as many poems that I can ..but I try....and you ALL are truly inspiration....thank ya...and happy trails

I enjoyed this carnival ride of a poem. Thanks for sharing Wayne.
Wayne, This is one of my favorited from the Big Tent prompt. I love the surreal yet easy flowing attitude.
You Prairie Sky pieces remind me of some of central Montana's landscapes. Beautiful!
