Notes About The Poem

January 6, 2026

For the contest,"Literary Chacter Clerihew Contest"

by Andrea Dietrich

Scarlett O'Hara

Scarlett O'Hara had everything, including handsome Rhett
yet was selfish and about as mean as one girl could get
Did life get even, we 'll just have to pretend
She rolled down the road on her hoop skirt and is gone with the wind.
From the book, "Gone with the Wind," by Margaret Mitchell

Your "Scarlett O'Hara" is a wonderful write. What a great old movie and book. Oh yes, the big/pretty hoop skirts. "Good Luck" I did "David Davy Crockett." Have a fun day writing away..........
