This is my second entry, I found a better photo. I am now happy I didn’t delete it. I was taking this for the open car window, that’s what the lower part of the photo is.

HEADS OR TOES

Posted on February 25, 2014 by jazzytower

HEADS OR TOES

all for one is all they’ve known

as members of their clan

laughing and playing jumping and jiving

as only siblings can

race to the door will be no more since

because mom has taken a stand

so heads or tails will be the game

to now entertain this band

toss of a coin and voices chime

heads or tails – I win

for the tiniest member at his turn it’s

heads or toes – I win

stair steps siblings take him in hand it’s

heads or tails – I win

not to bother with thoughts from the others

the coin is tossed again

and tiny voice quick to show his grasps yells

heads of toes – I win

he cannot see what the fuss is about

for tails is toes and toes is tails

and there is where he stands

the scramble is on for the next coin toss

and it’s time to get a turn

grabbing the coin he plants and

tossed and through the air it flew

his aim is off it lands far off

so mom renews her stand

no heads no tails no heads no toes

‘cause now this game is through

1964 – The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Posted on February 23, 2014 by jazzytower

Rushing toward change

1964 – the good, the bad and the ugly

Freedom Summer. Three Voters’ rights workers killed in Mississippi (two white, one black).

Lyndon Johnson was president.

War in Vietnam escalated.

Warren Commission decided that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in killing President Kennedy.

Battle over free speech as students were stopped from setting up tables passing out flyers against businesses practicing racial discrimination.

There was a ‘sit- in’ at the University of California, Berkley 800 students were arrested. This demonstration was a part of the Free Speech Movement.

This was the birth of student protest.

Barry Goldwater runs against Johnson.

Goldwater voted against the Civil Rights Act.

Johnson Won in a landslide but the war in Vietnam did him in. He didn’t run again.

Dancing in the street Martha Reeves from Martha and the Vandellas and Motown ruled the air ways.

Weekly photo challenge: Threes

Feeding time at the pier. Seagulls and more seagulls. They went airborne with my tossing food in the air, and dodging.

Coming Night

Posted on February 21, 2014 by jazzytower

Coming Night

day is winding down
neighbors are headed home
amidst snowy, icy sidewalks
through tangled power lines there is no evading the beauty of the skies

Rebel Salute

Rebel Salute

rebel
outlaw, nonconformist
instigating, trendsetting, trailblazing
challenging the norm, homage with a hint of envy
honoring, imitating, emulating
respect, celebrate
salute
