Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend – music challenge
Nothing like a late entry in the challenge.
A Diamond’s Best Friend
Such a sassy lady
Rubenesque and flirty,
you turned heads,
some minds even dirty,
you bedded stars
and married a few
fame and fortune came to you,
and though it ended sadly
as you left us for another world,
you, Marilyn, Norma, you
are a diamond’s best friend,
they really look good on you.

I think there’s a photo of her reading his work, she was misunderstood by many who simply took her at celluloid value. Thanks Tom.

oh so agree with your sentiments here … well said!
You have really found your voice in poetry, can’t believe you hid it for so long 😉

I’m just shy (lol) – I think I was busy with painting and gardening and work and then just thought I’d get back into it. I usually write a handful each year but never really thought much of it. Thank you for your encouragement.
