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 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 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

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,

Premium MemberSassy 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

Marilyn Monroe

The world without you is horrendous and sad.
            Without you, beauty is almost nothing
            beauty tries to show itself and insists
            but without you, it remains blurred

American sex symbol
Left the world too soon
Dazzlingly prepossessing
Born Norma Jeane Mortensen

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,
