Constance La France Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Gone With the Wind

We watched Gone With The Wind,
at Christmastime-  it was a tradition each year;
with my mother and we each had a tear,
I used to not like the movie that much;
but in time this awesome movie my heart did touch,
with scenes that have ever stayed in my mind.

Then, I read the story,
of loving a man who will never love you back;
and marrying in a panic attack,
a man you do not love, nor ever will;
reading of a woman travelling on a journey uphill,
with great courage through hardships and glory.

Life lessons in a book,
of not giving up no matter how deep the pit;
of never being a person to quit,
and not caring what people thought or said;
still having hope when all is lost and dead,
this is a novel not to overlook.

Sunlite Wanter January 25, 2018 at 6:20 PM Love your poem. I guess that book has lasted because it is a microcosm of its time. Constance La France January 29, 2018 at 8:52 PM Sunlite, thank you. I have all my mothers old movies and watch them sometimes on an old VCR that is still working very well. I had seen the movie many, many times before reading the book and the book was much, much better in my opinion. In her collection is The Thorn Birds which I want to look at soon.
