We want to be like those
Before our time
With paisley skin and
Scattered time
It’s my favorite past-time.

Times turned round again
And we don’t have a cause
But we don’t need a cause
because we choose.

And the ideas that we use
Started way back there, we share
Where they left off
We continue
And we hope that we can win you

With the feeling, colors live
Lazy days
Classy hazy summer days
In the flowers.

There’s no plan
Just the moment
And the stand to be for free.  


​John Gillispie has a wide range of literary tastes. For poetry, he typically writes zany, humorous verses. But, he demonstrates depth in those writings that are atypical of what he normally writes.  He writes on so many different subjects – he comes up with a couple of lines and the rest of the poetry writes itself.
