The 80's In My Heart

Written for a contest... just having some creative fun.

 

 

The GLORY DAYS of the eighties

Will always be ALIVE AND KICKING

Within my HEART OF ROCK AND ROLL.

It was my time of learning and coming of age,

One thing I remember was thinking I wouldn’t be

THE LAST AMERICAN VIRGIN.

Though I spent many nights DANCING WITH MYSELF

To the monthly CENTERFOLD

My SWEET DREAMS eventually became reality.

Though many would say I was LIVING IN SIN

It would be HARD TO SAY I’M SORRY

Cause I have no regret in living my ELECTRIC YOUTH

For I had four best friends of different ethnic backgrounds

Making us a real MOTLEY CRUE

And I was TOO YOUNG TO FALL IN LOVE

So I was looking for NOTHING BUT A GOOD TIME.

Now days it seems the influences still remain

With so many movie and songs being remade

That there is ALWAYS SOMETHING THERE TO REMIND ME,

But the greatest ones are the memories in my heart

From the decade that made me the man I am today.

So I raise a glass and say CHEERS to the late and always great

80’s!!!

Okay Cowboy I plan on entering into the same contest. It is not to win because I am starring at the winning poem right here. This was great, creative and if you were just having fun it showed because I had fun reading this. Thank you so much! I'll take 2nd place thank you very much!

This is a really fun piece. I enjoyed reading it a lot. I'm a big fan of 80's music too. I love anything Billy Idol! Great job.

[Tia Sanchez]

Not an 80's baby, but I love everything that comes from this era. 80's Rock & Roll, 80's Hip-Hop, and 80's movies like "Raging Bull", "E.T.", "Ghostbusters", and my all-time fave "Who Framed Roger Rabbit". I know, I'm weird, but that is the greatest movie ever! LOL. Like this poem.

[J.Black]
