For 'music to my pen' contest - (Poem about Edith Piaf with reference to the song ''no
regrets'' and her autobiography)

Sat up,
Listening to sparrow. 
Her every single word.
Loosing my memories.
Each night hoping, 
That I might,
One day remember. 
Rested head,
Did you hear her?
Each breathe a diamond.

Archie Bunker made Edith a saint
His attitude made most people faint
His words often cruel
He acted like a fool
But She still loved him with no complaints

“No, I have no regrets.”

Golden-winged
One of love’s truest voices,
If you’ve ever regretted
The early abandonment
The life of the bordello the circus
The street performances vocal and acrobatic
The early blindness thankfully early passing
The altered states of your mother’s legacy
The false accusations of murder
The too early passing
Of Marcelle and...

Archie Bunker
World War II veteran and blue-collar worker
Anticatholic, racist, sarcastic twisted sense of humor
Edith his submissive wife never anger or ranter

Edith Bunker
Naive wife about life and a chatty wonder
Archie would tell her, Would you stifle yourself, it drove him insane
Loves her husband all the same...

Edith Lived here 

Black & white photo
A house where
Edith Piaf lived
Casting a long shadow
On a summer street.
Blank windows
The house is unpainted
As always
Edith has gone
Her voice lives on 
She had no regrets....

At the foot of the stairwell 
face up she lay, knocked, smashed, kicked, 
robbed, disfigured, lifeless so
it seemed, when the police came,
with ambulance attending.

   all we knew, except her name
   was Edith....

What we like best about books by Edith
Are all well worth it and will readeth
And would always walk many a mile
To buy one written Southern Style.

One might be a marvelous mystery
While other was about local history
Was character who had been so shy
Blushed each time she...

Edith was filled with blind invidiousness
Everything Norma did irritated her
Edith could not release her envy
Focusing her attention on Norma’s every step
Every word she said, everything she did annoyed Edith
She began scheming how to make her enemy disappear
Crazy jealousy had turned Edith into a potential killer
She...

Archie Bunker
A good ol' boy,
Opinionated and moody,
He tended to be broody.

Edith Bunker
Was Archie's wife.
With a cheerful outlook she fought his strife.
The one bright spot in Archie's life.


ALL IN THE FAMILY...

A Sonnet Without A Usage,   


Doth not this piercing soul go down 
with timeless songs unsung by you? 
Besmirched like coal this old clown 
feels singed, moreover feeling blue 

Fork the mile come to my rescue 
deliver joy to me beloved one 
Suitor...
