Hippy Poets!

seeings how there is no clear definition as to a hippie or a beat(Except era)many crossed the line and were both.The beats became the hippies.Literature is defined both by the author and who their audience ps.I met nixon once,does that make me a republican expert?

 

oh yeah fuck the literary establishment read opus

 

This bicycle ride he spoke of was a true story. April 19, 1943, the inventor of LSD, Albert Hofmann had ingested some LSD at Sandoz and was riding his bike home when he noticed the world begin to change. This was when he noticed (because three days earlier, he had tested LSD and thought he was ill) it was the LSD that had this "bizzare, but not unpleasant" visions for two hours. This was from 25 thousandths of a gram of LSD. In the 60's we knew this as "Bicycle Day", and my friends and I rode around the parks of San Francisco tripping on LSD during Bicycle Day. Which I'll also add, Bicycle Day is coincidentally my birthday.

 

Excuse me Thudly. I wrote one that got published in the school paper.

I'll share it for FREE. This IS "Public Domain" as declared by the author,
Mathew A Thomas. AKA MattInVegas online.


A Rose: By M. Thomas.

A Rose is like a rose,
A Thorn is like your scorn.
Violets are Blue, some roses are white.
If I get my wish, I'll hold you tonight.
My darling, I love you in the sincerest form.

Forever!

More a Haiku really.

 

How many people here thinks Thudly needs to take her menopause pills and keep her mouth shut and nose in her books! What an ass! It was a freakin question lady! Everyone has there own ideas about poetry and if your such a literary scholar why don't you go teach or something rather than bitchin about it on the net!

 

Check out some of Morrisons poetry, "Lords and The New Creatures".....

 

Also check out His CD...An American Prayer. Where can we read your poetry??

 

Cosmicdust-- a ray of intelligence beaming through the darkness of this addictive forum!


You are obviously influenced by Oriental thought and philosophy. So were the Beats and the Hippies. However, the Beats, an intellectual-at-heart movement, had already read Western Philosophy-- the hippies were drug-snorting idiots, by and large, who thought their feeble scratching at the surface of Eastern philosophy justified their reckless drug experiments.

Wrong. All Eastern teachers or gurus at the time warned them against the allure of "instant enlightenment", but to no avail. These pampered, spoiled, teeny-bopping, naive dolts thought a pill or a couple of hits on a pipe could give them instant wisdom.

Now, 40 years later, many of them are dead or insane-- a tax-burden on the next generation.

Sadly, judging by the posts, there are more than a few kids today who wish to replicate our experiences.

How fucking stupid!

That's like me, born in 1947, wanting to go back in time and be a "flapper", or her raccoon-coat wearing escort, replete with a hip-flask of bootleg gin in the Roaring 20's.

Everyone has a time in which we lived large-- accept your own.

 

CuriosJane-- can't you read or you just plumb ignorant?


In a previous post, I made quite clear I wasn't a woman, certainly not menopausal. I'll throw it back, however, are you?

We are talking "LITERATURE". If you can't hack it--quit. You'll lose everytime with me.

Mojorising-- Morrison, drug and booze-addled bozo he was, had no idea of poetry.

Mattinvegas-- even though I love you for your kindness for Angelgodiva-- a haiku is 17 syllables-- 5,7,5.

 

and then he was a she and i said hey babe take a walk on the wild side

i ain't dumb but i can't understand why she talked like a woman but walked like a man

 

Gate 68, I have some weird problem on my computer-- I can't see my avatar or anyone else's. Everything else goes on the screen--photos, drawings, etc.-- but the avatars are missing. Therefore, I forget that I chose a female avatar so my nosy daughters (18,22,26) can't spy on me. People have told me how to fix it, but I'm afraid I'll fuck it up worse.


My computer-expert girl-friend went to Lousiana. My next girl-friend went to Texas. Those alligator-infested rebel states have claimed my only hope of computer-redemption.

I AM DOOMED!

 

So? What would you like? A cookie? Just because you were alive during the era, doesn't mean you know anything about it?

And who defines what is "Hippie" or "Beat"? Most of the Beaniks lead the "hippie" movement.

Get off your high horse.

 

You ignorant, stupid twat. I was making history when your soul was resting between injections into this time-frame. Jesus, but you are clueless.


I've finished arguing with you-- obviously you're convinced that you have a brain.

Wrong.

 

I'll tell you what your problem is Thud! Even though your a man you still need hormones maybe that would chill your ass out! but your real problem is that you think your some (big shot I'm from the stone age so I know it all sit on my ass all day and preach to the a computer) cause the people your age realized what a sad load mouthed man you really where and now this is all you have. So I acutally feel really sorry for you.......... Ramble and down people all you want........ I know its all you've got and you don't have a real life its understandable............

 

...and your cats too...I hate cats!!!Stop overpopulation...eat a pussy.

 

Well,Curious, it seems I hit you where it hurt-- in your ego. I may be old and unloved and unwanted and unappreciated, but when I type my name on GOOGLE-SEARCH, lo-and-fucking-behold! a novel-for-sale pops up!


Which is more than you'll ever have.

BTW-- I have 4 children and 5 grandchildren who love me very much, and not just for my handsomeness, money or fame.

 

58 years old and talking like that? Someone really needs to grow up.

 

I never denied I was crazy, did I?


I hurt as badly as a human can hurt without dying.

I'm sorry, to everyone.

 

THUDLY,

You write,

As Grandad would say: "Hogwash."

Thudly, I love you man; but I've got to lay it out to you on this one.


Peace,

David

Well, Natural23, I'm naturally curiously-- who, from the "Hippie Generation", do you consider "an intellectual" (a dirty phrase if I ever heard one, and I've heard quite a few).


Spare me Dylan, Morrison and the usual suspects.
