James Dean

A Poem by Kelly Scheppers

...a birthday tribute

James Dean

“…along came a spyder and picked up a rider

and took him down the road to eternity.”

James Dean

what a dream...

white tee shirt

faded jeans.

An angry young man

excess extreme,

living life upon the screen...

without a cause

a rebel, it seems…

James Dean

He had the mythical 'X' factor in spades Kelly. His films never get old - he and them are forever young.

I always loved the old James Dean movies, when cool was actually cool and not the lame a*s millennium version of fakeness that it is today. I remember really identifying with him as the put upon son whose family didn't understand him. Trouble was, he was the rebel without a cuse, I was just the rebel without a clue. :)
Beautiful tribute Kelly.
