Question:

As a project for Honors English class, I have to fuse a poem and an art piece?

For my poem, I chose the song, San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Some Flowers in Your Hair.) I've been looking and looking for and art piece to go with it. I tried searching for flower childern, hippies, and San Francisco. I couldn't find anything I liked. Does any one have any suggestions?

The song goes like this:
"If you're going to San Francisco/ Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair/ If you're going to San Francisco/ You're going to meet some gentle people there."

"For those who come to San Francisco/ Summertime will be a love-in there/ In the streets of San Francisco/ Gentle people with flowers in their hair."

"All across the nation such a strange vibration/ People in motion/ There's a whole generation with a new explantion/ People in motion, people in motion."

(Then it repeats the first verse.)

Please, Please help me. I'm desperate!!!

This page has some great photographs (photography is art...) of people in San Francisco at the beach, kind of idle and just pretty pictures.
