Marlene Deitrich

Marlene Dietrich was Berlin-born, but she despised the Nazis.
She studied violin, theater and poetry.
Her dreams of being a concert pianist was over when she injured her wrist.
She got her start on the stage in a chorus line.

Paramount pictures wanted her, so they wooed her.
Gave her a green Rolls-Royce Phantom II, in 1930.
She was known in

POET'S NOTES
With her monoku, Marlene 'Mountain' Morelock Wills (1939–2018), challenged the idea that haiku must consist of two juxtaposed images. I explore parallelism as a possible poetic device in this monoku, as well as a form of internal rhyme.

Marlene

Marlene Larson

I just heard yesterday that you get to go home.
You will soon be young again and free to roam.
My thoughts and words today are for you my friend.
Every time that I write, I’ll think of you as I hit send.

I appreciate your support and the kind words you have shared.
I will miss your comments,

So Long, Marlene

So long, Marlene, we mean to say, we'll miss you when you go
The thought of you will cheer us through this tide of chill and snow
Through winter storm stay snug and warm beside the fire's glow
May you abide the growing pride of those who love you so

We hope that you enjoy the freedom leaving us

Lili Marlene

Lili Marlene

In times of war, love can subdue cynical adversaries
(Men separated from their vocation, now filled with hatred)
And quell the beast inside their misdirected hearts,
And free their consciences, to allow sorrows’ comfort.

A noisy silence pervades the barracks’ atmosphere,
Where soldiers stir, stuffing duffel bags and miscellaneous,
While others reminisce, writing letters; maybe their last.
And await further orders

Marlene

Way, way back in 1974, 
When I was just a teen 
Three friends and I went to this place 
I'm sure you never seen
 
We all went on a camping trip
Two miles in the woods 
We packed our gear, our fishing poles
And all our other goods
 
This place in Pennsylvania,
Has a gorgeous waterfall 
This story's

On the Late Unrest In France Over Supplies of a Sandwich Spread With a Touch of Marlene Dietrich

after "Ich bin die fesche Lola" sung by Marlene Dietrich 


I'm easy-going Lola, the girl who's most in voque.
The Nutella in my pantry is there for none but me.
I'm easy-going Lola, the heartthrob a la mode,
but hands off my Nutella, or my other  side you'll see.

That Beautiful Marlene

Your hair is like the 
finest silk, your clothes 
are made of linen, your 
eyes are gorgeous as 
the earth and you are 
my beginning, your 
contemplation is 
unique, your beauty's 
far from old, my love 
for you is an antique, a 
story long foretold. 
Your breath is all i can 
afford, your english is
