Best Marilyn Monroe Poems

Screen goddess Marilyn Monroe

Rustling whirled dress with thighs that glow,

Her stockings were quite a plenty

To cover unshaved limbs, so hairy.

Premium Member Sassy Marilyn Monroe

Sassy Lady
A blond bombshell beauty, 
Sensual cornflower blue eyes 
That dropped men to their knees

I watched that 
Sassy lady one night 
On the southwest corner 
Of Lexington Avenue 
And 52nd street

In a white dress
I listen to the
Click, click, click
As she walks by
In high heels

Mesmerized 
With the sway of her sexy hips
As she turns and walks away
With a glimmering
Spark in her eye
I can read her mind

To her surprise
Over a subway grate
Her dress is blown upward
With the blast of warm air

Embarrassed
She turns back
Looks my direction
With a playful flirtation

My excitement arouses

popular sex symbols of the 1950s and early 1960s
Lived: Jun 01, 1926 - Aug 05, 1962 (age 36)
The film; The Seven Year Itch,
Hearing an approaching subway train, Monroe stepped onto the grate, having her skirt blown high by the train passing underneath, saying “ooh do you feel the breeze from the subway, isn’t it delicious.” Minds across the country were simultaneously blown.

Marilyn Monroe
of whom the world was fond,
a political bomb shell...

The original Died Blonde.

Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe
Many hear that name and cringe
It's been said that she was off her hinge
But what if she were born to a wealthy home
She may have been a name unknown
Say her parents had given her a head start
Paid for a college degree in fine art
Would she have kept her birth name and closed her legs
Been held together with high society pegs 
The answer to this question is not opinion, but fact
No one will ever know, so watch your mouth and have tact
She was an exquisite lady built from turmoil and sorrow
Not a dime in pocket, even her name was borrowed 
Do you know what it's like to have nowhere to turn
My guess is you would struggle to discern 
Reba said it all when she described "Fancy"
Fewer choices, less foundation, some simply can't see
So before you judge, try wearing her high heels
With a wink and a chuckle, enjoy fine meals 
Mr. President may be married to a lady on a pedestal 
But if he were happy with her, do you think he would gamble
Perhaps she was kind and thought First Lady was her calling
But with food and shelter, would you hear her bawling
Many would disagree with these words I have spoken
They are probably at home, in their hot tub soaking 
The point of my defense is not to justify
But give you a thought, in case  have no supply

Beautiful, Marilyn Monroe

I knew then  { when under her first film contract }  what I had known when I was
Thirteen and walked along the sea edge in a bathing suit for the first time. I knew
I belonged to  the public and  to the world----not because I was talented, or even 
Beautiful,  but because I had never  belonged to anyone else. The  public was the 
Only family, the only Prince Charming, the only home I had  ever dreamed about.
I didn't go into the  movies to make  money. I wanted to become  famous so that 
Everyone would like me and I'd be surrounded by love and affection. ~ 



                                                                                          * "Marilyn Monroe"

Premium Member W-Marilyn Monroe- a Golden Lotus In Dull Grave

The new book “Fragments” refresh the 
The image of larger-than-life American.
The “fragments” do ignite many questions
Of what turns a human being into a legend.
Personal excellence, exceptional charisma
Intellect, strength or beauty? Or it can be
Unusual capacity to engage the hearts 
And enlarge the dreams of the admirers.

She echoed her rage, discontent and sorrow
She notes, “ Not a scared little girl anymore”
Her youth was marred by abandonment
Her three marriages ended in divorce.
She wrote in her poem when married to *Miller
“Oh silence, your stillness hurt my head — and pierce ears.”

The most contentious aspect of Monroe’s early years
 Is the possibility that she was sexually abused.
Three years later she wrote, “ I will not be punished
Or be whipped, or be threatened or not be loved
Or sent to hell to burn with bad people
Feeling that I am also bad” alludes to devotion
To faith and her struggle with guilt.
Millions of words have been devoted to her
Few of them were written or said by herself
And the people who knew her well are no more.
Yet her inner life remains mysterious
A subject of reverie for biographers and writers.

Oceans churned on her brow, wind swept the leaves
Of her life into dust storms, flames leapt in mirrors
Of her eyes dwelling in a penumbra of life and death.

Marilyn Monroe

I feel empty, 
Or feel too much 
Like Marilyn Monroe 

Like me,
What goes on through our heads
Only we would know..

We just wanted love,
Without any conditions..

We've known a form of love 
And its many renditions 

But it wasn't real, nor was it true,
So we gave ourselves up, 
To be with who 

We thought would complete us,
However, we could not trust,

Our anxious minds lit up the night
With silly thoughts and thoughtful rhymes..

All we want is to be loved, 
More than anything, 
I just might,

Close off my heart and seal off its cracks...
All I wanted was our love to leave sweet tracks,

But all I can feel is nostalgia and woe,
Very similar to Marilyn Monroe...

Love is, and was, our goal,
To find the person to make us whole,

But all we got was hatred and were berated,
Like we didn't deserve to fill our heart,

And it tears me apart,
Like other beings,
We need love,

We need that other to complete us like a glove..
 
Like Marilyn Monroe, 
I've been beaten down, and felt trapped

Inside my own head and heart,
But I haven't snapped...

Like Marilyn Monroe,
I keep standing strong,
Not losing hope..

That one day my love will come along...

Marilyn Monroe

I could of hugged you once 
Even wrote a letter on how I felt 
But you left us way too soon with the angels 
You inspired me -many others I'm almost certain 
You took the stage as your own 
Broadway missed an angel 
Being the actress you became 
With just fond memories of you 
You are still and will always be 
America's sweet heart 
With that smile to melt many 
You inspired me to write and become who I am 
Myself 
But heaven wanted you quick with bliss 
That angel who inspired transcend all 
True of courage and laughter and faith 
Worlds greatest star I'll forever miss 
My favorite star that actress like you 
Legacy always cherished never gone

For 'Guess Who' contest sponsored by Margarita Lillico

Born in the abode of the angels,
a blooming rose beautiful and coy;
Glance even from different angles,
as always you were a world of joy;

You rose to dizzy heights and stardom,
there was a time all you touched was gold;
Life of parties in glitzy filmdom,
t'was tragic to see your life unfold;

Caught in the murky web of showbiz,
you tried to be the part of it all;
Many marriages, heartbreaks, never is
easy to get over, and play ball:

Health took a turn for the worse for you,
but you neglected it to stay on top;
A magnet as controversies grew,
you were from a unique field and crop;

Hollywood is a scary place love,
should've known before diving headlong;
it has robbed your sweet innocence dove,
now, sleep ports you to where you belong.

Premium Member Marilyn and Elvis

Marilyn and Elvis, iconic, and well-loved, cherished, beloved.
Loved and beloved in the same sentence? Only for these two.
They both have a vulnerability and a tragic back story
Elvis had to live for his twin, Aaron, who died in the womb

Marilyn had to reinvent herself, so someone would love her
Both unaware of how beautiful they were; neither understanding
We who grew up in the sixties wanted to fall in love with them
They were both edgy, a bit out there, classically unique, daring.

They both caused parents to shudder, and talk.
Anyone who can make Ed Sullivan blush is okay with me.
They were sex symbols, without trying to be.
Okay, Marilyn tried. All Elvis had to do was give you his look.

That smoldering look that made you gasp
They were our beautiful people, our icons,
The ones we all wanted to be; the ones we would be
When we grew up. We all aspired to be Marilyn and Elvis.
Better yet, Marilyn and Elvis.

bust A Move Although a show to proof 
lift up a tendency come and sit next to me
river
river...
a winged creature studded feature
burn the bridges shown each frozen
lots of love toward destiny
feature,
sweet feature
an animal frantic

sound from your real proof
busted in the middle gazed to second fiddle
begged the journalist not to look like a joke
join in the chorus plagued for heaven...

sweet sullen sweep
encouraged to stand still & repeat
Nothing Like Marilyn Monroe,
some of the images reveals in back of her hair and makeup
Elton joined her "Candle in the wind"
onto each velvet side...,
sleep to sweep her under the sun
