Poem Artwork

symmetrical
uptown elegance
terra cotta
circa the time
live streaming
nostalgia in
consciousness

catching
your breath
the last dance
follow up
art deco the era

ambiguous
the past
so to be
contiguously
living today

Dear Vivian, I enjoy your poetic writing
immensely...each time...your "Retroactive"
took me on a romantic trip to the place
and time...when people took great care
in all they wore...how they looked...chose
social party...in a most desired place to be
seen...
Your short poem said so much about the symmetry
of Art Deco...reflects and praises its modern
aesthetics...full of glitz and glamour...intended
for the elite clientele.
Yes, I can see its contiguity today...and the Great
Gatsby comes to mind...with visually captivating
grand staircase and the details on the entry door
welcoming a dapper gentleman and elegantly dressed
lady...engaging in the best circle...
Thank you Vivian, for the experience.
Blessings!

It's nice to have a little bit of retro around the house. But I wouldn't go back to those times because they were much harsher than today, in spite of our fears for the future.
