Yesteryear

The stars of yesteryear Were Stars of the first magnitude The women, were graceful and elegant The men were dashing and handsome too.   There are no stars anymore They’re just celebrities. Amoral and slovenly The masses, they seem to please.   Quality Scripts have been replaced With special effects, and action. I miss the movies of yesteryear When the story was the attraction.   Perhaps I should have lived In another time and place. Somewhere called yesteryear A different time, a different space.

man, I have read a lot of your poems now

and really respect you as a poet, but give us a chance! We like to respond to every poem posted but can't when you post so much at once. Out of respect for yourself, you know you could delete the poems uncommented on and re-post them later. I would suggest it, if you really would like to join this workshop. This poem, yes! I feel so much the same. I belong in yesterday or tomorrow, and struggle with today. cheers, Jess
