NaPoMo poem #18-B
This is poem eighteen-B of the poems I will write this April, in honor of National Poetry Month, as proclaimed by the Academy of American Poets.
This poem was inspired by a suggestion from Andy Sewina, aka SweetTalking Guy. This is a very brief flash fiction written in three American Sentences, a poetic form conceived by Allen Ginsberg.
• NOTE: these poems will all essentially be early drafts, so edits may occur after their initial posting.
Bohemian Tie-Dye
•
Jack and Neal on the road were rape’n their angst in carnal combustion.
Allen was howl’n, pal’n with Corso, but still white-hot for Peter.
Hunter was fearful, loathing it all, as bohemia went tie-dye.

Hi Rob, You made my day, what a pleasure to wake up on a sunny Sunday morning and to be able to read this. Takes me back to the sixties and the references make me think of Easy Rider, beat poets and wonderful memories. Excellent!

“Allen was howl’n” is a great line! Sometimes just a few words can bounce us high. There again suddenly here today. And me right now posting this - and smiling. Wide. Thank you. Spring day. Sunshine.

Thank you for the kind words!
I tried to wrap two decades of writerly outburst into the three sentences. Glad this reached you…
