I grew up quickly, learned a lot, and survived. At least the soundtrack was great.

#PromptCombo #the90s #poetry #writing @janpsolivagant.bsky.social

innocence lost
in so many ways
went from scared middle schooler
to a drunken goddess
from a dork dressed by Mom
to fishnets and push-up bras
and having my choice of boys to go home with
trying to figure out who I am
without parents controlling my every move
getting into trouble because
I was only taught to say no to drugs
but never no to men
(because who would want a fat chick?)
they felt free to use my body
as I either take my mind elsewhere
until they climb off of me
or revel in being their whole world
for a few sweaty minutes
innocence lost
PTSD gained
and addictions to cope with it all

Beautiful delusion
of House beats,
candied necklaces,
silver pleather pants,
clear jelly platforms
and a vibrant red
pixie
that floated through
warehouses
and restaurant
basements
with record
crates and a
knuckle ring
that said BEATS

Yep - he can be just about anyone he chooses to be (within reason!) Recall chatting over a beer and him shifting to the character he'd been playing half an hour ago! I was spooked...While I've got you, do you have Don's poem about being 92? I can't find it but #PromptCombo this week is #The90s 😂

The wonderful @janpsolivagant.bsky.social is your #PromptCombo host this week with #The90s, so get reminiscing people!

@drnaturegirl.debbiemross.co.ukSep 14, 2026, 7:12 AM

Hey @janpsolivagant.bsky.social Thanks for this weeks’s #PromptCombo #The90s
this is my back of a fag packet with this morning’s cuppa effort.

Thanks for hosting. Hope it’s a good week.

#blueskypoetry #poems #poetry

A poem by Debbie Ross entitled

‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’ *

The 90’s passed me by
in a blur of new responsibilities,
keeping family together
with sky-high mortgage rates
and only one income.

Head down, nose to the grindstone,
I missed the advent of coffee shops
and the internet, the rise of cheap flights.

The only thing that anchored me there
was the music.
Not the boy bands and girl bands,
 Madchester and Indie rock,
a dose of Brit-Pop.

That first Iraq war
terrified and outraged me
in equal measure
New Labour 
bowing
to US Pressure.

New world,
old problems.

The 90’s passed me by.
My world was growing smaller
as my husband’s rage grew larger,
crushed by control.

*title of a famous Oasis song

@sonnetsmith.bsky.social so instead of a #haibun I've created a #limbun. A prose/limerick combo for #PoetsOfDoom.

@janpsolivagant.bsky.social this is also my contribution to #PromptCombo #The90s

**Nomads was a brand of hippy clothing I was fond of in the 90s.

#Poetry

Nomads 

Mom used to curse my gypsy blood when I took off. She always gave me a roll of coins so I would call. Once a week and she wouldn't panic, although some calls caused that anyway. But mostly they were to relate the weirdness that was my life - well the bits I could tell her at least.  

A girl who escaped from the Black
Lived her life off the beaten track.
As a wild, reckless fool,
Nomadic life was so cool.
Until she was forced to go back!

Rite of Spring II – 
End of History


 
Unforeseen 
Redemption of the
Pledge broken after 
Pražské jaro - the
Rite of Prague Spring.

Gen-X urbex vanguard now
Probes the freshly-breached 
No Man’s Land of the Cold War;
Scouts the bohemian outposts of a 
Siberia deemed vanquished in 
Prenzlauer Berg and Kraków -

The End of History 
Convulsed by 
Haman’s Rape of Kuwait, his
Poison-tipped scuds 
Primed and pointed at 
The Holy Land.

As
Teens, mounted dispatchers from 
Armageddon’s Badlands would
Stalk their nightmares:
Dream-censor admitting only the 
Terrifying wait before the 
Three-Minute Warning -
Never the firestorm, poison rains or 
Unending solar eclipse of the 
Aftermath. 

Now they dance - in
Disused hangars, warehouses, 
Husks of factories, cotton mills: 
Devastation wrought not by 
Bombs, but by GATT, 
Knowledge economies in utero, and a
Ten-year crusade against the unions.



Now they dance - 
Enacting the Rite of Spring’s 
Tableaux from eighty years ago:

Roerich’s peasant smocks echoed in 
Lurid, baggy fashions;
Crashing, snarling beats and drones; 

MDMA-tinged bacchanalia fusing the
Tribes of Neo-Mod, Rude Boy, 
Indie Girl and Crusty Juggler; 

Frenetic shadows – cut adrift from 
Nijinsky’s original castings;

Elders scoping the heavens with that 
Lost, abstracted look – not unlike
Bez from the Happy Mondays when 
Shorn of his maracas.

Ecstatic Dance-to-the-Death, but
No Chosen One propitiates the 
Spirit of the Earth.

Death by Water, but not in the
Raven coils of the Rusalka,

Nor by 
Ducking stool,

Nor as live offering to 
Chaac in a Mayan sinkhole . . .

Intoxication: a
Lucozade-and-water-laced
Misadventure. 

© Jan Peters/Solivagant Wisdom, 2025 

Bez of the Happy Mondays in his early-'90s pompt with signature maracas which, if they weren't silent, probably held his secret cache of disco biscuits! :DRoerich-designed costumes from the Nijinsky ballet version of Stravinsky's Le sacre du printemps (Rite of Spring)
