Written for: Sunday Muse #143 (posted by Fireblossom)"This week you get a choice. We are looking back at old Hollywood and a make-believe world that nevertheless lifts our spirits and touches our hearts. You can write for the image (Tracey Powers as Mary Pickford) or you can go completely off the deep end and use the video I'm providing."
(Tracey Powers as Mary Pickford)
What happened to you?
Said you'd be right back
with cocktails. I see
no cocktails in those
claws you seem to have
sprouted. Your skin
is turning green
and hairy. Not another
step!

I am a freelance poet, born and bred in Brooklyn, New York. I live with my husband, John, and two charming rescue dogs–Marion Miller and Murphy. We spent eight lovely years in Portland, OR, but are now back in New York.
My goal is to create and share poetry with others
who write, or simply enjoy reading poetry. I hope to touch a nerve
in you, and feel your sparks as well.
Ha, this made me smile!

Thinking of the wonderful films from the 30s and 40s, never knew what might ‘sprout.’I enjoyed this.
