Gen Y rules
Blink and you’ll miss them
Bright young things
Reach out for
transitory life
Would-be kings
Queens of time
Not yet old or wise
Think they’ve known
Might arrive
but can’t realise,
overthrown

Like most people, I have a number of sides to me. The most interesting one probably emerges through my writing, hence this blog. I love to read, and also to write, and so this is a way to share both.

Gotta love youth. too bad it is wasted on the young. (old joke followed by drum and symbol strike)
LOLOL!! 🙂 🙂
Love your poetry. Barb
Thank you so much, that is very kind!! 🙂 🙂
Anytime Helen. You have been very supportive of me also. God Bless, Barb
You obviously haven’t met the moody, foul mouthed young women round here then.
LOL!! 🙂
Love this. Makes my heart ache. I fall into this generation and so does my younger sister who is 9 years younger than I am, but I swear it feels like there is a generation gap. So much happened during generation Y that I think there is a split within it, just like the fork in the shape of the Y itself.
May well be, there are always exceptions to these type of rules too!! 🙂 🙂
So very true!
Thanks!! 🙂 🙂
You are most welcome!
You have written this stereotype ably and aptly Helen but I hold great hope for them as individuals, beyond the influence of the herd.
So do I, it was just a playful poem. I know and work with many in that generation who are more responsible and sensible than their baby boomer colleagues (including at times myself!!! LOL ) 🙂
