Deborah Burch Poet Double Dactyl

Scarlett's Lament

Scarlett's Lament

Fiddlede-diddlede
Scarlett O'Hara, she
slew all the fellas--not
lifting a hand
'Cepting Rhett Butler proved
Incomprehensible
with, "Frankly, my dear, I
don't give a damn!"

Robert Pettit March 1, 2013 at 11:27 AM Just like Joni Mitchell sang in her song: "Don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone." There was nothing left for Scarlett to do but go home to Tara. Deborah Burch March 1, 2013 at 11:56 AM Indeed. So very true Robert. So often we find this truth when it is too late! Thank you so much. Big Hugss deb
