Blonde

I hate that Nellie Olson —Laura Ingalls, Little House on the Prairie I’ll fix her. You’ll see. —Nellie Olson, Little House on the Prairie (regarding Laura) Season 6, Episode 2: The two get muddy fighting over a man. Nellie gets even but guess who gets the man and the husband?! Don’t worry Nellie finds her match and he helps to turn her into a better person, well she wants to be better because she loves him. Blonde B leached before birth, bright L ocks with buoyant curls O nerous trimmings with foxy tail N ellie was notorious, jealous, D emanding all of Laura’s suitors E at out of her hands, nest in her blonde lair

I see that Laura Ingalls really got into the characters she created. Imagine, actually 'hating' the character you yourself created! Interesting angle there...

I grew up watching t.v. When I met my husband, he could watch several movies in a row. At that time, excepting The Wizard of Oz, I wasn’t much into even watching a movie for the second time. Now, I do like a good series, but will watch a little at a time.

The Mentalist was more my type of series. So No house on the Prairie for me. Still, your poem resonates with me. Hugs

Glad you enjoyed a snippet of the show. It is not for everyone. My sis-in-law is a huge fan. Hugs ~ Kim

Did you see the later ones where she finds a husband? She was quite the spoiled brat. Thank you, Anaya!

An acrostic with a story behind it. I loved reading about both. I never saw little house on the prairie. I have heard it was great.

It was a fun, dramatic and light in humor show. I didn’t read the books until I was in my 20’s.

Kim, your poem "Blonde" beautifully captures the complex dynamic between Laura and Nellie, highlighting themes of rivalry, jealousy, transformation, and redemption. The evolution of Nellie's character, as she finds love and grows into a better person, adds depth and emotion to your tale.

Knowing that she eventually becomes a decent human being helps the tale along as we all had some shaping up to do. Thank you, dear friend! :)
