The Roaring Twenties

The Roaring Twenties

A Poem by Nicki

A life in surplus!

Exuberance! Excitement! Enthusiasm! Excess!

The flapper emerges

with painted lips and her dress aflutter

from the wild convulsions of her legs

They swing around kicking in and out to a fast paced rhythm

The jazzy sway of the times

is reality in the club

where the big brass bands belt out their jazzy tunes

The passion is alive and thriving

The fervor of the music and of the age

Wild Parties, Wild Dancing

War is over and a new spirit is blossoming

One of wild excitement and uncontrollable emotion

A spirit that is a mere phantom because it moves with such speed

Everything all at once an explosion of energy

The woman has left the home

The men awed by her newfound independence

Industry booms growing, blossoming, fruitful and wholesome

It's the Roaring Twenties

and it's on a roll!
