Awhile back some friends wrote Haikus of their festival experience. Anybody else have a Telluride Haiku or any form of poem?

My feet are filthy
Sunburned and sore from dancing
I can’t stop grinning

Hurry up to wait
Set up and crack open beer
Useless smile day

great new friends are here
brought by old friends from last year
wrangled here by us

woken up slowly
where is my festival dress?
my tent gets so messy

Good times in mountains.
Honestly where the hell is

Boy, the way Glenn Miller played. Songs that made the Hit Parade.

Guys like us, we had it made. Those were the days.

Didn't need no welfare state. Everybody pulled his weight.

Gee, our old LaSalle ran great. Those were the days.

And you know who you were then. Girls were girls and men were men.

Mister, we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again.

People seemed to be content. Fifty dollars paid the rent.

Freaks were in a circus tent. Those were the days.

Mares eat oats,

A kid'll eat ivy, too.
Wouldn't you?

not a Haiku but something remembered from a few years ago

welcome back....
you thought your mando was your ticket out...
welcome back...
to that same old place that you laugh about...

well the names have all changed since you've been around...
but those songs have remained though they're turned around...

we all knew it would lead ya...
right back to the planet where we need ya...

yeah we're a happy lot cause we're going back to the spot...
welcome back, welcome back, welcome back....

There's no way I can match Hooch's post. That was terrific even if he borrowed the poetry!!!

Since borrowing is ok.......

I wish that I could be a pirate
I'd sail the ocean blue
Way before the big liners
Started sailing them too

I'd bury most of my treasures
So I would leave a big hole
And the only real sense of pleasure
(That I'd get)
Is to sail free of my soul

Same ol' river, same ol' sea
Same ol' water rushing over me
Same ol' moon, same ol' sun
Same ol' race that we've always run
Same ol' race that we've always run...

credit to Sam Bush of course

If you've never really listened to the lyrics of this song, look them up.
Its a great message and it has Telluride written all over it.

Thanks and see you at the FESTIVAL!!!
Peace, Denis

Did you ever see All in the Family?  That's the song that Edith and Archie Bunker sing in the opening of the show.
