Nostalgia Poems
#nostalgia
Nostalgia poems, uplifting poetry fortified with an air of nostalgia. Poetry exploring sentimental affections for the past and poems to remember times gone by. Poems about the popular culture of another era, memories of childhood experiences, or recollections of what home used to feel like.
Retiring Minds
Trump's a freak for speed, like his Nazi muse,
and mien apples plummet close to the plan
whereby injustice lights a public fuse
to stroke the puny ego of a man
willing to extinguish millions of lives
in the service of nostalgic notions
cherry picked from the dubious archives
of baby-boom perma-fry devotions
who wouldn't trust people over thirty
when they were protesting a war
the establishment made down and dirty
like a coked-up big business Wall Street whore.
The decades didn't alter morality
as much as...

Francis Durbridge, writer, was always how he looks
always been fond of paul temple, fictional author and amateur
detective on the radio of the what, 1950s?
entitled, middle class, well off, but with contacts in the underworld;
he’s replayed occasionally on radio 4 extra
and you can, should you want, still get hold of the books

I Can’t Remember
I Can’t remember
Can’t remember
Walk in a room what for
I don’t know as the day begins anew
Can’t remember when I started to forget
Cobwebs on my brain
Try to brush them off
I can’t remember
Say to myself check it out
Get on my phone to look it up
Who am I why am I here
Can’t remember when
And I’ve got cobwebs on the cranium
I can’t remember when I
Started to forget
Blank pages in my mind
Sit and stew but the key is simple
Think about something else ...

Blah
We had our fun
We had good times
Something, I suppose
To call a good life
Together we climbed mountains
And strolled along the shore
Living and loving fully
Until it was no more

MY FEEBLE PEN'S UNCERTAIN, ATTEMPTED RETURN (5:25pm, 10-7-2024; at KOFFI North, Palm Springs, California)
pausing here
this afternoon
with pen
and paper
in hand again
in hopes
of tapping
back into
my innate
creative muse s
too long neglected
too long distracted
ever mysterious
inner realms
to try retuning
back into
channeling
and releasing
whatever spontaneously arisen
free flow purge
of perceptive
conscious
and subconscious
self expression
might
to my surprise
possibly arise
from...

Let's Go
My girl is coming around,
I'm gonna meet her downtown
I think I'll find some action,
and get some satisfaction
So baby let's go,
you & I to dinner & a show
So baby let's go,
where the buildings are real tall, ya know
Remember that place on Main Street
We shared a malt, that was real neat
The dance hall was really ringing
Everyone was happy & screaming
So baby let's go,
you & I to dinner & a show

two donkeys
never ridden a horse
I’ve ridden a donkey or two
once as a kid on the beach at
margate and once on a greek island
I can't remember
which
I always get those two donkeys
mixed up

As you stare into the abyss
As you stare into the abyss
Time is not friendly
Time will kill you
Time is not the enemy
Enemy is the time you spend
Time is on point
Time doesn’t take time off
What you do when time isn’t watching
Your time is my time
If we’re both present let’s have a feast
Pizza in the classroom
Mr Hand aloha from Spicoli
Back to time time doesn’t mess around
Time is sand in a bottle
Grain of life in a glass jar
Time is not...

Let's Go Back
Take me back to a place I want to go
Where cartoons and candy is all I know
Life was easier and much more grand
Going to the beach, digging in the sand
Met with friends, knocked on their door
Kids today sit around, what the fuck for?
Baseball, biking, swimming all day
Post 2001 life has turned so grey
Government and tech has ruined our lives
Increase pressures, illness and suicide
Optimism flew away years ago
My personal experiences, just so you know
Where cartoons and candy is all I know

kitchen sink rather than psychedelia
six pennyworth of chips, heavy on salt
and vinegar, eaten out of grease
(and there was plenty of that!) proof paper,
wrapped up in an old copy of the
daily mirror, was a part of the whole
nineteen sixties experience when
we were kids, aged around ten or eleven,
we’d never heard of jimmy hendrix ..

Last talk
One more call
To hear your fading voice
Knowing it'll be the last
What to say
A lifetime crushed into minutes
You don't want to end
Memories flood
My mind inundated with your face
Tears pool onto your picture
Time for goodbyes
Cruel moments of living
But thankful for the chance
To hear your fading voice
Knowing it'll be the last
What to say
A lifetime crushed into minutes
You don't want to end
Memories flood
My mind inundated with your face
Tears pool onto your picture
Time for goodbyes
Cruel moments of living
But thankful for the chance

My Answer To Your Little Challenge
If I'm not mistaken, the name
of that singer is Gary Puckett
whose band happens to be
"Gary Puckett & The Union Gap".
