Notes About The Poem

Image result for Scarlett visits Rhett in prison

Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler

Scarlet O'Hara,
Arrogant misunderstood belle and beauty, from the plantation Tara
caught up in war, love for Rhett, and her OWN survival and money,
she made a dress from green velvet drapes, fiddle-dee-dee, honey.


Rhett Butler
a handsome rogue, a charmer, a gambler of many a dollar, 
with knowledge of women, EXCEPT Scarlet, is that WHY he was enthralled,
his final words to Scarlet, I don't give a damn, as his name she called.

Rhett, the charmer...what did he expect? He goes after the one that’s hard to get and has her eye on Ashley all the time then he makes her wear red to shame her...good grief Rhett! LOL

Kim, oh that Ashley, the coward, why did he not tell Scarlet in the very beginning he did not love her, and maybe Scarlet and Rhett could have been happy ~

Hi Friends, well, of course my inspiration is the two main characters of GWTW, and their tangled love. I have seen Gone With The Wind so many times, it was my mother's fav movie and she made me watch it with her over and over, but I have to admit I sort of liked it. Have not seen it in years though, need to find a copy in DVD, wonder if it is available, oh it must be !
