This decade we return to
The roaring twenties —
Back then there were plenty
Of threats, just no one knew
About them yet.
I wonder if these twenties
Will be roaring —
When it seems more likely
That I, for one, might be
Cowering and whimpering.
DVerse’s quadrille prompt is “roar” this week. I’m kind of scared for the future….

Yes, how will we/I respond? You bring that historical context as question, makes the reflection potent.

I also thought about the roaring twenties, but got to depressed thinking about what we’d be roaring about.

Awwww. But also thriving, through words.
I think all we can do is promote as much kindness and love as we can.

We may have left the roaring teens.

This made me smile and wince at the same time. You use humour to make the truth a little easier to swallow – but not much!

As Sarah said you have made the questioning mode of your poem a spoonfull of sugar that we may face the present in relation to the roaring 20s of days gone by
