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

    Whispers of the Frozen Realm In winter’s silent hold,Where silence blankets the earth,Lies a world, still and serene,A canvas of ice, cold birth.Crystals hang like chandeliers,Glimmering in the moon’s soft light,Each a murmur from the frozen realm,Dancing through the heart of night.Beneath the ice, shadows play,Secrets of the deep, untold,A kingdom silent, hidden away,In winter’s…
