Visual Poet’s Thirty Days of National Poetry Month 2011; The Baby Boomers Creed Poem

On this day of National Poetry Month 2011; I honor the numerous American Baby Boomers with my poem and visual poetry The Baby Boomers Creed

We are Baby Boomers, we are

We are the generation most creative and diverse, by far 

Brand new paths, we have set, all ablaze 

And, we have transformed each and every, life phase 

In elementary school we learned from Dick, Jane, Sally, Spot and Puff 

We entertained ourselves; we played rough and sometimes fell on our duff 

Hide-n-seek, ring around the roses

Red light, green light, sling shots and blind man's bluff 

And, toy makers provided us with a whole lotta, stuff 

The slinky, yo-yos, hula-hoops, spinnin', spinnin’ tops

And, marbles and jacks were way off, the cuff

Our music was hot, it has stood the test of time and still hangs tough

We sure did create over two decades of youth culture, positively enough
