Who Am I

It's been written before and quoted more "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder" Born in London to American parents Her beauty, would come to make, men smolder Blue bedroom eyes for us to view, but more of a violet hue Golden eyes reflected her seductive guise And chastened more than a few Unlike many beauties the color of her hair, Rarely changed it's tint Styles may have changed from year to year But darkness was her intent A voluptuous figure with statuesque curves Changed in her golden years But when she was young and middle aged Men's hearts would always shift gears She fell off a horse and broke her back Scoliosis tormented her health She overcame, like the trooper she was, through the years And died in excessive wealth Called many names in public and private As she gracefully turned a deaf ear Home wrecker, tramp, alcoholic, and **** With head high she never failed to appear Her persona was large but larger than that Was the size of her philanthropic heart Converting to Judaism and a Foundation for Aids The first actress to ever really start She won best actress in "Butterfield 8" And never really looked back I coveted the role Paul Newman played In lust of "Maggie the Cat." by Daniel Turner Feb 3 2016

I'm a real Liz Taylor fan, and particularly loved her in"Cat on a Hot Tin Roof". Nice job! RAY

Thank you,Ray. I too, am a huge Liz fan. I'm still lusting for "Maggie the cat". She was so beautiful and talented. I appreciate you and am glad to have found a fellow fan. Peace, my friend.

No sir. My children were born about that time. I am a painter of sorts, I paint with words and use them as blocks to build a verse.

Thank you, Andrea. I'm pretty sure this is how it works, especially since she got permission to use my other two for examples. Try it. It's a lot of fun trying to get people to figure out who you are talking about. Jan guessed this one right off.

Thank you, Nette. She captured my youthful heart when everything was still in black and white. Whoops, now I'm aging myself. Thanks for the flowers.
