Best Norma Poems

At twenty weeks      they saw the light—  
two daughters  Esme Teresa and Elle Norma    
            wombed in delight—  
before the room

Awakening early 
just before sunrise
to exquisite sounds
of the morning refrain

Blackbird sweetly 
offers his love
with his passionate tune
surely making her swoon

How could she resist
this morning opera
each wistful aria
expressing his love

Flying towards her
with hope in his heart
plans are made
a love nest to start

Drawn towards 
the sea ~...

When I was only seventeen,
I met my darling Norma Jeane.
And I, still wet behind the ears,
Emboldened by too many beers,
Approached her and forgot my fears,
Became the envy of my peers -
But knew our love would end in tears.
And after many lonesome years,
I saw her on...

Sweet memories of Norma
Come shining through
There are just so many
And I’d like to share a few

We’ve been very best friends
For about fifty three years
Through the ups and downs
With lots of laughter and some tears

She has really been like
A dear sister to me
I’m even called Aunt...

If I had the choice to start over again
What would I rather have been
A rocket scientist, a famous writer
Or a stand-up like Norma Jean!

Must've been fun to make 'em laugh
To make people giggle and smile
To help them forget life's many struggles
If only for a very...

rising star
paparazzi stalked
avid fans
harass her
men pursue, abandon to
alcohol and pills...

Goodbye said that man with the unusually large glasses
Good bye he says in that song
I wonder how long
Did you lie there alone?
Did you end your life
The way you were born?
Naked and...

A  photo on a dating site
How gorgeous that girl looked
By text we flirted all that night
And I was truly hooked

She looked like a celebrity
Like Marilyn Monroe
With sexy eyes and pouting lips
And slim from head to toe

We texted till we felt at ease
And then we...

Norma Jean and Marilyn

Norma Jean Baker, Marilyn Monroe
A beautiful actress, a woman of woe
Just couldn’t handle all her ills
Loved the champagne mixed with pills

Blond bombshell Marilyn Monroe
Married Miller and DiMaggio
Aroused suspicions
with certain politicians
Soon found dead in her bungalow

Born Norma Jean M. to a mother insane.
Never...

in the beginning
wholesome and fresh
with a vibrant glow
a trailer park name
a path to  fame

finally an opening
in the jungle door
mighty Niagra about to flow
too late now to say no

golden dreams 
every mans fantasy
the moth and the flame

too long at the party
past time for bed
sugar plums...

I wrote a limerick the other day
About an old girlfriend named Norma Fay
She wanted my bod,
Lying on the sod
As for Norma Fay, what more can I say?

The beautiful Marilyn Monroe
An Icon, she would never know
Blond bombshell, so pretty
She was also very witty

There was actress with a mole on her face
A facial mark, women tried to erase
It became so unique
Women drew it on cheeks
The mole became famous, not a disgrace

JFK was in...

She was the bawdiest gal, they said.
Her eyes were green, her hair was red.
There were rumors of course
She rode nude on her pet horse
But we never knew her, for she was long dead.

You’re luckier for it, they told me.
She lived to be age eighty-three
She had...

I saw Moby Dick riding the Star-Spangled Banner 
One full moon before the freezing September 
Jamaica made first the say 
Towards breaking the bonds of foray 

While Warren was saying goodbye 
Einstein blew the first cry 
Towards breaking the bonds of foray 
About six steps...
