Summer of Love

In '67, streets alive,
Peace and love began to thrive.
Hippies gathered, young and free,
Dreaming of a world to be.

Music played, a vibrant sound,
Psychedelic vibes abound.
Monterey's electric beat,
Bands and fans in joyful heat.

Tie-dye clothes and flowers bright,
Fashioned colors, pure delight.
Posters swirling, art that flowed,
Cultural seeds were widely sowed.

Voices raised, protests loud,
Marching in a hopeful crowd.
Against the war, for rights they fought,
Change was more than just a thought.

Haight-Ashbury, hearts unite,
Communal life from day to night.
Experiments with mind and soul,
Summer's love made whole and whole.
Psychedelic Art Fair

    The Year’s at the Spring

    ByEmily Verse

    Morn where daffodils play,Spring brings a joyous day.Birds in chorus sing,Nature awakes with spring.Beneath the blue, brook flows,Blossoms tell of snow.Gentle winds dance,Spring brings life’s chance.Fields of green, bright hues,Sunbeams, painter’s muse.Children laugh, they cling,To joys that springtime brings.Earth renews in morning dew,Hope in hearts, fresh and true.Every heart, like birds on wing,Soars high and…

    Snowy Sentinel Fields divine, a bloom did stand,Under the watch of a gentle hand.Not a sound, nor a grand display,Just grace in light’s array.Tender care, from sky to root,Soil sacred, where it took its shoot.A hue so bright, ‘neath heaven’s gaze,God’s garden, where it spends its days.Petals soft, sun’s embrace,A quiet corner, its sacred space.Every…

    No Two Alike

    ByEmily Verse

    In the sky, where dreams take flight,Each snowflake falls, a unique sight.No two the same, in the vast winter’s night,Each a masterpiece, a delicate delight.Tiny dancers in the moon’s soft glow,With patterns no one else can know.They twirl and spin, in the air so light,On a journey to the ground, a silent flight.From the clouds,…

    October October

    ByNathaniel B.

    October morning,the air bites softly,carries the scentof dry leaves.Golden sun hangs low,paints the quiet skywith fading warmth.Trees stand tall,their crowns aflame,colors shifting, falling,soft underfoot.Clouds stretch thin,a delicate danceabove quiet fields.Long shadows walkthe empty streets,whispers of coolnesssettling in.Evening comes faster,a chill takes hold,the light slips away,just like that. Meaning This poem captures the fleeting beauty of…

    Cold Morning

    ByEmily Verse

    In the hush of dawn’s embrace,Where frost kisses leaf and stone,Silence wraps its cold lace,In the realm where light has flown.Beneath the pale sun’s weak gaze,Shadows stretch with icy fingers,Breaths swirl in a misty maze,In the heart, a quiet lingers.The world, wrapped in a silver sheen,A tapestry woven from winter’s sigh,Whispers of what lies unseen,Beneath…
