Flashback sees
her standing there
hazel eyes and golden hair
Hanging out,
sun in her eyes
Look now at
how time flies
Earth tone colors
wallpaper of fern
halter tops, cutoffs,
amazing sunburn
Highway stretched out
far away
it seemed
Not mastering
one smidgen
of all that was dreamed
Lazy lake,
one red light
Boones Farm wine
blistering look back
one more time
Southern rock,
mood rings
willows branches low
Stretching out
in the distance
a long way to go
World spins around
the era is lost in a whirl
Time warps, time wraps
and finds the 70s girl…
That Seventies Girl
Published inseventies
I can relate to a lot of this! My daughter just got a mood ring and obsesses over it and how it changes color. I actually had one in the 90s. I think that was the start of the 70s coming back!
Mood rings are cool, yes it seems the come back with regularity. I recently found a disco ball ring on Ebay which was one of my favorite 70s thing, I had to have it, of course 🙂
oooh, disco ball rings. Yes, back in the day, I had all manner of large rings. Made it rather difficult to wear gloves in the cold weather but, who needed gloves when you had awesome rings!
My thought exactly. .of course in Texas you don’t wear gloves a lot so that’s a bonus…
Yes, well L.A. too! Just remembering the NY days. Now of course, still some big rings but maybe just 4 or 5 instead of one on every finger!
beautiful poem… 🙂
Thanks again for the wonderful compliments and for reading my blog.
