Magpie

So, after being inspired my two of my skainsmates, I've decided to join Magpie Tales :)

In their own words, Magpie Tales is "dedicated to the enjoyment of poets and writers, for the purpose of honing their craft, sharing it with like-minded bloggers, and keeping their muses alive and well. "

They post an image and invite their followers to write a poem or short vignette inspired by the image :)

What a fabulous idea!!!

Here's my first offering:
I haven't
seen
a real
smile
from Marylin
Since
she was
still
Norma Jean


Go check out Magpie Tales!!!

  2. No smiles since she was Norma J? I'm afraid there were few smiles for her even then...

  3. Very True, poor Marylin, she had little cause to smile for most of her life....the image I had in my head was the photo spread she did when she worked in the airplane factory during WWII, that was when she was still Norma Jean and a brunette, and her smiles in those photos always struck me as more genuine than her later starlet photos....

  5. Love it! When I first saw this pic, I remarked to Fox that this was a "Marilyn type" person. Then she said, it really WAS Marilyn....
    wow.
    thus my Magpie as well.

    Good job! :)

  6. PS...
    I see one of your wishes here on the right, is to have an artist paint your body. Lynnie Couillard-Blance, a faire friend on my FB page does that painting for a living. Just sayin' :)
