| What an exquisite way to express the destination of the 60's era: "are you still free yet stranded/as the conch upon the beach/waiting for an ear to listen?" I very much identify with these beautiful lines. Thank you! ~~ Diana |

| I visited H/A in 1967 during a family vacation, a fifteen year old nerd who bought a cheap peace medallion that went over poorly when I returned home to Michigan. It was quite a time then, and now SF still remains one of the most liberal cities in the country. H/A is now pretty much a panhandling center but your fine poem has captured the original essence perfectly. Patrick |

Beautiful and haunting. You can still find the flower children, now spread all over the globe, by their hair and the clothes they still wear. I was one of the fortunate ones to have been there and watched them in Panhandle Park and on the street. Some even hitched a ride in my car. I envied their free lifestyle and have followed their philosophy, even though as a engineering graduate student, I was square as a chess table and never took any drugs.

| I was a few years too late getting to Haight Ashbury and most of the flower people were gone by then but the wraiths of free love and peace were still around. Your poem brings back sweet memories. |

| Oh, they are still around, those who didn't let the drugs waste their lives. Some of them are in the government helping to implement the flower power from vaunted offices, having joined the establishment. One good thing to come out of the sixties was the music. |
