Heather Ober Poet Sonnet

Faye Dunaway

With golden locks and fancy frocks,
She looks just like Faye Dunaway.
She's like a fox, smug as she rocks  
That retro scarf and wool beret.
 
I bet she'd even rob a bank
With sultry smiles and cunning ease.
I'm sure she'd only fire blanks--
A natural and eternal tease.
 
And in this modern day and age,
She doesn't even have a Clyde.
The only star to walk this stage,
She needs no man to grace her side.

With independence as her creed,
She makes a bonnie gal indeed.

She is also a fellow Southerner like me I'm honored to say...Wonderful sonnet written like only you can - Tim

Joyce Johnson April 14, 2013 at 4:30 PM A great tribute. I never saw the movie, probably because I remember when the pair were running wild and believe me my sympathies were not with them.Thank you for your kind comments on my "Wid Love" Love, Joyce

Richard D Seal April 11, 2013 at 6:16 AM Great actress, very nice tribute you have paid her here. Great film, bad pair, she played the part perfectly. Doesn't seem that long ago, time flies. Enjoyed your contest, Thanks for calling by with your comment. Take care, Richard

Andrea Dietrich April 4, 2013 at 8:34 PM the NEW modern woman. Was she really that modern in her thinking back then? Heather Ober April 5, 2013 at 8:04 AM Probably not! I just thought she was so kick-ass when I saw that movie for the first time haha

Richard Lamoureux April 3, 2013 at 10:44 PM This is fun! Who is this stylish lady??? Heather Ober April 4, 2013 at 8:16 AM She played Bonnie in the 1967 version of "Bonnie and Clyde." As a kid, I thought Faye Dunaway was the most beautiful girl in the world!

Karen Anglesey April 3, 2013 at 7:32 PM Love the witty metaphor. Very fun to read!

Carrie Richards April 3, 2013 at 5:10 PM Great choice.......she made a statement in that movie...unforgettable way to end, however! yikes!
