1920 Love

1920 Love

A Poem by breakthebrokenone
"

Deep down I am a child of the 1920's.. with my love of red lipstick and fashion couture. This piece reflects love from that error that my grandmother helped me etch into my mind

"
Red lipstick, black high heels
    Reminds me of Paris.

Lipstick stains on a coffee cup
  Etched from a time of class and romance. 

A time where if something was broken, 
 you fixed it
  not throw it away

A time of classics, of poise..
 of 1920 Love. 

Classic red roses in a vase
from an anonymous lover
who signs the card with a simple
yet elegant
                  X
The 1920 Love 
will never be the same.

Amazing and beautiful use of words. You create a story and a wonderful place to be and know. I liked the thoughts and the needs of the words. I agree with the ending. Old day. Love was long walks, long talks and dancing. The good days. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

Lots of fun and warm images, hearkening back to a memorable time for the author. Produces several pictures in the mind that evoke the time.

I always said that I was born in the wrong era. I wish I could experience these times, go back to where Romans didn't need to wear clothes, and a public bathtub was a nice way to relax. How I envy them
