Red Wolf Poems:
stillness time sacred shallowness
mandala fading moody tobacco
stillness time sacred shallowness
mandala fading moody tobacco
3WW:
alive glaring misty
Poets United:
music
Boisterous crowd very alive
tonight
Not the stillness of
an evening stroll
Music blaring
in keeping with the tide
Unwieldy slips jiving to an awakened soul
Time to be
together most precious
Sacred endeavors
all for a good time
Though shallowness
of jibes still obvious
What of it for young folks keeping in line
Seated around in
somewhat mandala fashion
What he had in mind all along for a tortured soul
Crudely unperturbed but a perfect ambiance
Sadness fading moody
still but steadfastly bold
Misty tobacco
smoke swirling in abundance
A tinge of weed aroma he could faintly detect
Glaringly his
mood dive changed so sudden
Disgusted none of it he left not looking back

Yes, most important is the time to be together.....and melodies are such an important part of this time.
ReplyDeleteit's lovely to be together
ReplyDeleteHow often I thought in my youth "What am I doing here?". Suddenly the penny drops that time and money are being wasted for no profit whatsoever.
ReplyDeleteNever look back. Just keep moving forward, one step at a time.
ReplyDeleteI resonate with this poem - crowd scenes dont do much for me. Good one, Hank.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sherry. Great job, Hank
DeleteTime together is a great thing to have indeed, but when stuff like weed and dumb things start cropping up, time to get the hell outta there
ReplyDeleteI'd have been turned off by the tobacco just as fast.
ReplyDeleteHa, repelled by weed.
ReplyDeleteI believe you capture the seductiveness of the club scene with music and smoke that both call and repel. Nicely done!
ReplyDeletelovely !
ReplyDeleteI think that it is a wise choice...home is the best place to spend an evening..i love the image of the crowd as a mandala...although not as wise perhaps...nicely penned Hank!
ReplyDeletea crowd can be so lonely...because you are not really together...
ReplyDeletethe intimacy of being together is so important...
I also prefer the solitude of selected company ~ Two of a kind just cilling at home ~ Nice poem ~
ReplyDeleteJust simply chilling at home :)
ReplyDeleteYes many music halls can result in that.
ReplyDeleteGreat poem Hank.....how I long for some company.
ReplyDeletegood one, lovely
ReplyDeleteThe Time Stopped
Nicely expressed, Hank.
ReplyDeleteI love music, but definitely not tobacco smoke or weed aroma!
Even I'd love to get away from such places :)
Merry Christmas!
THE FREE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT COMES ALIVE SO WELL!
