Lost Moments 2012
artwork by Nick Gentry
it was the hot summer of ’59
the heat dragged on and on;
migrants sweated in the fields,
youth rumbled in parking lots
after cruising’ saturday night.
bobby left me for a prettier girl
but i didn’t care; i’d have a
smoke, quick slick a rat tail
comb thru my cropped hair
and find me a better boy,
one who really understood
what was inside me, yeah.

I like the cool, casual attitude in this poem…and it matches well with the artwork. 🙂

I like where your words went with this, especially since the title is “Lost Moments.” You have truly captured one with your words.

The power of believing in oneself when started young like this can make a difference in living life or just life.. a strong character replayed in life! 🙂

I love the moment of frozen time…. and the strength and sassiness of the girl.
