S~ Scent of the shining, Pacific Ocean, eternally bless me! A~ Arresting fog, may your droplets forever surround me. N~ Nights of rainbowed streetlights, dance, engulfed by the sea! F~ Friendships, ah,so transformative, we gave each other the space to be! R~ Resurrecting the grand glow of our hopes and oh so shining individuality. A~ As full, white clouds, we brought glimmering hope to humanity. N~ Nights, we honored the stars and earth, with wonder and humility. C~ Concerned were we, starting projects to end hunger, compassionately! I~ I was more than blessed to participate in these fulfilling days of glory. S~ Scents of fresh, amazing anitsef,another aromatic, scented story. C~ Compassion not competitive these loving memories do be. O~ Or it seemed like not a city at all, but anthologically, some divine country! Poem 1 of 1 6/13/2024

It is is disaster. Do you know I haven’t been there for 24 years. You’re right it was a delight to live there or visit You can still go there., if you’d like your car broken into your face smashed. Maria went there i said~ It was really awful. She said mom you don’t want to go there.. add my inabilty to walk well? Not for me. But. I loved it years ago. CA is now a banana republic! Ugh.i never was in Hayward, pangie xx

Wonderful paean to the S.F. 'of old.' ... Now on fire with gangs burning rubber doing 'donuts' around traffic circles... ~ Tony Bennett

Hi Tony, you sound like you’re giving a version of some city I never heard of ..that’s very innocent? by the way, you roll cannot tires down the street as far as I know in San Francisco. Maybe in the early 50 no ‘s!But I haven’t read that on the news.. you can have babies on the street, throw veterans out of homes to house potential terrorists ,you can do that too, Add needles all over the place and wreckage of car windows I live in the present. Robbery is permissable! “” “”Grace Slick “”” “times have changed! So has our entire society. Pangiexx, Bagdad by the Bay, indeed! Pangie xx

I've been to San Francisco many times and I've never grown tired of it. Your poem is a glory to this fascinating city.
