John Jay Anthony Licata ~ Poet, Artist, Sculptor ~ Troubadour ~ 12th Generation Yankee Son

Poet on Grub Street
Suffer rhymes of sweet madness
Winter leapfrogs Spring
First lyrics heard from the womb
Now songs from the other side

The 1960's

The 1960's was the last great decade in America - with Perhaps the period of 1965, through the middle Seventies, as the most creative and altruistic.

Since then it has been a bitter-sweet, slip-slide ride, Farther away and more distant each day, from the Resplendent vision and promise that America once Held:

In the sanctum of her heart,
In the soul of her lands,
And in the currency
Of her mighty rivers.

Perhaps a great renaissance will beckcon and the Clarion calls of our newer generations, will found a Florence in their mind's eye, a passion in their breast, And a new found joy in the tenor and tempo of their Lives...
