Norma -A Story Poem-
Norma was a little girl lost,
she came from a broken home.
Her mother was prone to madness,
fits of delusion,rage, and sadness.
Though her early life was a portrait of devastation,
Norma rose above it all and she found sweet salvation.

stuck out Einstein's
tongue sticks out
as being among
one of the most
amazing things
to see but then
when i saw
Marilyn's
skirt skirting
that grate that
was
greater
and so it was
or would seem
so they say
Monroe's
IQ was
higher
than
Albert's
after all she
never bombed

Goodbye Norma Jean
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 made the choice
We swapped our numbers eagerly
To chat some more

Norma Jean
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 away
While Norma Jean was groaning in pain
The shadow

Norma Fay

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

Advice 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

Norma Jeane 1926-1962
Courage is a quality that describes well this star who fought an uphill battle since childhood when abandoned by a mother suffering from mental issues, and later having to overcome sexual abuse in several foster homes - then trying to build a career for herself while trapped in an era where sexy women weren't taken

With Just One Look She's Norma Desmond
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 ~ the sun
I have great expectations
as they become one
A watercolour

My Bawdy Great Aunt Norma Bea
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 a hankering
For all kinds of pankering
She was my Great-Aunt

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 knew her real father, just his name.
Vaulted to stardom selling

Norma Jeane Baker
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 love with her we all know
Her death was a horrible

Norma Jean
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 short while
Now that's what I call a fun type job
But

Norma-Jeane: Duo-Rhyme
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 the silver screen -
And dreamed of how it could have
