A WARDROBE MISHAP
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There once was a squirrel named Marilyn,
In a dress made of white, she was a twirlin’.
With a gust of fresh air on her derriere,
She danced with nary a care,
And the male squirrels cheered, “You’re a sexy darlin’!”

But one day, as she twirled and leapt with delight,
Her dress caught a branch in mid-flight.
With a

Marilyn Monroe - Diamonds Are a Girls Best friend's

Marilyn Monroe - Diamonds are a girl’s Best friend

Diamonds, Rusted or shiny, are my best companions when times are tough

When my crystal tear drops from My Deer fawn eyes

Sparkling champagne with a bottle of red wine would do just right
On rainy nights of such gloom

Diamonds, rusted or shiny, are my best friends when my days

Premium MemberMy Sister Marilyn - No Blood Relative

Although my sister and I are not related by blood, we are as close as any two humans can get outside the bond of marriage. It started when at the age of six, my own mother placed me with this family to take care of while she worked. At the age of thirteen it physically

Premium MemberMarilyn Monroe

For the glamorous Marilyn Monroe
Completely out of their minds men would go
Her hour glass figure
Sent them a-dither
When her two beauties were out there on show.

Marilyn wished to be star, perchance
Through dangerous years she’d act, sing and dance
In films she appeared
She lost all her fears
And she was never without a romance. 

As a blonde bombshell Marilyn

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

Premium MemberMarilyn's Fate

Even Marilyn Monroe had work done
She is beauty with or without blonde
Hairs and cares of movie star heights
Perhaps her pain made her bigger than life
She is a thick beauty we admire today
Crushed by it all she was lost by fate.

Premium MemberMeeting Marilyn and Jane

We are from the sixties, I am Marilyn, and she is Jane.
They are wearing leopard, tightly, and seem a bit insane.
We have painted our car appropriately the less smart one says.
I have no words for them. They are probably not from any res.

We are platinum blondes, Marilyn tells me, as if I am sight-impaired.
Sixties songs

Premium MemberMarilyn 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

Premium MemberAdvice To a Potential Honey

Twirling my truth like the tornado that I can be
I do not care, expect, or anticipate you catching up with me.
I can be cruel, crass, and crabby for sure.
Know there is the other side too- compassionate and child-pure.

My patience was shaken out of me by caretakers many years ago.
I am insecure because of it, but

Marilyn, Little Girl Lost.
.
Little girl lost
who never grew up
burdened throughout her short life
by a lack of her Mothers love.
Thrown into the limelight
beauty made her a star
loved by everyone
but never felt good enough
so insecure
Longed for a family
always searching for true love.
She became a pin-up
and every man's dream
because of her alluring beauty
femininity and sensuality
hiding the real person

Premium MemberMarvelous Monkeys

What I love about Star Trek isn’t the plots or even the characters, It’s their casual, daily use of fantastic technologies (think replicators) - for them, the ordinary. It mirrors our own banal use of magic-like wireless, google searches and air travel.
We are marvelous monkeys.

I’m a teenager. I am new and agog - Jesus, I

Premium MemberMarilyn Monroe On Ice

Marilyn Monroe type, she’s a right bombshell
on ice, with windblown red dress, mademoiselle.
     Raven gloves flying high.
     Snow-white skates fleck blue sky.
Pony show’s feral and free for her clientele.

Marilyn

Way past midnight now, her mind is getting crowder,

How are you doing these days?
How things have been?

Little girl from broken home,
No one knew and no one cared.
Pillow fights and age 11,
Memories that she had shared.

"New name, new me" you said.
Tired of trying, nobody believed.
Broken homes of your own,
36 and buried, relieved.

How far is my good,
