The Life & Ramblings Of A Zillennial

Rebel Without A Cause

Rebel Without A Cause

Rebel without a cause

They called him

Blue jeans and white shirt

Leather jacket on top

The signal of youthful rebellion

What a cool cat

Had all the girls swooning

What a way to live

A life without any rules or constraints

Until he finally found his cause

And now he’s a rebel with a cause

To never have a cause

About “Rebel Without A Cause”

I’m sure you guys know Kevin’s NTT challenge by now as I frequently participate. This poem is in response to one of the images he created this week for the NTT post. This image instantly reminded me of the movie, Rebel Without A Cause. You can read more about the movie here. I don’t know if the younger bloggers will know it but maybe some of you guys will. It still has a pretty big fanbase especially because James Dean stared in it.

This poem isn’t like the best writing I’ve ever shared or anything but like with all prompts it was just fun to create. After working on my books and other things, it’s fun to not overthink things and just write what comes to my mind. So, even if it may not be my best work or properly polished, I very much enjoyed writing it.

Hope you guys enjoyed it! Let me know if you’ve ever seen Rebel Without A Cause? Are you a fan of it? Are you a fan of James Dean? Let me know what you thought of this week’s image and poem in the comments below. Or simply stop by and say hi!

    Nice poem. I vaguely remember seeing the movie on tv when I was kid. It never really appealed to me. He was a promising young actor and it is a shame he died so young.

      Dear Pooja and Thomas,

      I have watched all three of the main movies starring James Dean, by whom Pooja’s excellent poem has been inspired.

      Wishing both of you a productive new season as well as a fruitful March doing or enjoying whatever that satisfies you the most, whether aesthetically, physically, intellectually or spiritually!

      May you have a lovely weekend!

      Yours sincerely,

    This pic is pretty awesome, it looks like he has a few regrets or maybe just a headache. Is he a happy rebel? Is he one of the lost generation kids? A hero or a villain? Whatever the answer is he is likable guy. I haven’t seen a movie

    What do youthful rebels look like these days?

    When I saw the picture I immediately could see James Dean (and I am a generation after his passing) but I think most people born in this century won’t feel this.
