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

Hibernation Poems for Preschool

Hibernation Time In a cozy den, under the snow so white,A little bear sleeps, away from the light.Dreaming of spring, with flowers so bright,Through the cold winter, he’s out of sight.Wrapped in a blanket of earth and leaf,He breathes so softly, in gentle relief.Outside the wind whispers, a chilly motif,But inside his dreams, there’s no…

In the Divine Garden In realms beyond where sunlight dares,God’s garden blooms in silent prayers.Each leaf a verse, each petal sings,In harmony, the bell of heaven rings.A river flows with grace, not seen,Through fields of gold and endless green.The trees, they stand, both old and wise,Beneath the ever-changing skies.The air, it carries purest love,A gift…
