You can mock them, but I, for one,
Found the 1980s a little TOO much fun!
Linking up with Denise at Girlie On The Edge's Blog for Six Sentence Stories with the prompt "net"
Oh, the 1980s!
ReplyDeleteI like this post, and your photos.
Thanks, Romi! The 80s were pretty fun!
DeleteI was having so much fun reading this, I got all through it and completely missed the cue word, and had to read it again. It was just as much fun the second time, and this time, I didn't miss it. Love seeing photos of you with the poofy hair!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Pat! I'm a terrible poet, but it was sure fun to give it a try! I had forgotten I even had those photos. So glad I dug around and found them!
DeleteA hair-raising collage indeed. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd it was actually done with a minimal amount of aqua net!
DeleteWell, Girls do just want to have fun.
ReplyDeleteAnd that'll never change!
I enjoyed this joyful poem!
This one sure did! Thank you so much!
DeleteI miss the 80s, what a blast it was for different styles, music and film. Can relate to pretty much everything you said there, Dyanne. A wonderful Six and photos too 😎

ReplyDeleteYou said it. Long live the 1980's! So-o-o much fun!

Thanks, sis! I'm sooo glad I found the pictures! I had pulled some stuff from the interweb, but these were so much better!
DeleteEvery decade had its fun, and that one was no exception. Excellent!
ReplyDeleteThank you! One of those decades that you can tell immediately from a photo. The 90s? Meh.
DeleteThe 80s were fabulous. so was this si.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much!
DeleteExcellent pome.
ReplyDeleteThe eighties seems like only forty years ago it all started.
Aii.Yee
Ugh! That long ago, wasn't it? Doesn't seem like it!
DeleteGreat imagery here. I could totally feel the 80's vibes. It almost played through my head like an 80's song if that makes sense?
ReplyDeleteI’m glad you felt it, too! Thanks!
DeleteOh yes, those were the days! Today's lot have no idea what they missed!
ReplyDeleteMy Six!
