Happenings
For The Vocal "Unfiltered" Challenge
Introduction
I find it ironic that Vocal says we can break free of standard formats when they seldom recognise such formats with Top Stories, so of course I'm going to do a sonnet. They don't say you can't use standard forms.
The music is "Happenings Ten Years Time Ago" by The Yardbirds.

Feelings Never Die
It is Valentine's Day again, and it bought back memories that were over fifty years old. It bought me back to 1971, and I woke up and I knew my baby was due today. I was big and pregnant, and I felt like I was about to burst wide open. Imagine my surprise when the doctor told my I had a due date of February 14. I couldn't believe it, and since my baby was due today, I felt I could indulge myself a bit. I had gained a lot of weight, and chocolate was on the no-no list, but I had came to the end of this pregnancy, and I hoped it would be okay, after all I would deliver this baby today. So I walked across the street to the grocery story, and bought myself, a peppermint patty, covered in chocolate, my favorite. Me and my Valentine's baby would enjoy it together.

You kind of cover a gambit of ideas here that kind of describes the world.
Luv this one!!
Beautiful poem, as always, Mike! Really love the deep thoughts here โค๏ธ
The second stanza was my favourite! Loved your poem!
Writing is indeed a challenging process, made even more difficult with contradictions in standards. I feel you there,
