In My life...a comunity project

[zeemike]

I just thought it would be fun to try this. You are invited to add to this poem that I have started In any way or style you like. I have started it out below:

In my life
I have seen time go by like a ship rigged for bad whether
Tossing sometimes one way or the other.
It‘s hull straining and creaking, but never breaching.
Against a grievous sea.

In my life
I have see a cold war
That promised only great horror
And old men trying to say that peace is fragile
but we could beat them if we dare.
And missals pointed everywhere
Duck and cover we were told
And those of us not very old
Wondered why the sea was angry.

We liked Ike
As much as a bike
That took us too the fair
We wondered why
The open sky
was so full of fear.

And the music came
And with it’s Elvis fame
Drew us all away
Little Anthony and little Richard
Jan and Dean and Everly brothers
The Father Son and Holy Ghost
Caught the trade winds too the coast.

And in my life….....
