Ode to a Blue Jean Jacket (poem)

Amazingly, I found a poem I wrote in 87, possibly earlier, dedicated to my favorite 80′s attire, the blue jean jacket. I actually had a spring/fall denim and a winter denim. Ah those were the days. Anyway, it’s a possitive poem, not negative or dark. Surprised?

Ode to a Blue Jean Jacket

My friend you are there
In rain, sleet or snow.
Summertime is near.
Sadly meaning your time to go.

You were a shadow and a symbol
Following me everywhere.
You have a style about you
That was acceptable to wear.

Our parting shall be brief,
In three months we shall see
Changes have been made
But you’ll always stay with me.

  • Ron, this was awesome. It took me back to my collection of jean jackets. I had so many. A cropped guess jean jacket, an acid washed jean jacket, a stonewashed levi's jean jacket and a perfectly faded one that I wore to every Kiss concert I ever went to. I will have to see if I can dig up the pictures of me wearing it and post them. I also had a friend who had an amazing winter jean jacket, acid washed awesomeness. Oh, the days of jean jacket goodness. What a nice poem.
