Poetry: The 80's

An innocent phrase and video clip
Got me caught up in a memory track
Now my mind is on a long backwards trip

Hair spray, tight pants - lots of glamour and glitz
The music was great and it came all dressed
In stripes and leather, big curls, boots with bits
I found something then that I have liked best

While others find peace in old childhood dreams
No innocence found for me in that time
Few moments for me were happy it seams
So I take what I had and make it rhyme

So what if many want that decade gone
I came alive briefly and found my song

    Torn shirts and wild hair
    Hard rock was a ride,
    Creating who I was
    Funky images outside.

    It is quite funny
    when she asks if I won
    for this picture she found
    was nothing but fun

    Big hair was the style
    Bright colors
