Elizabeth Taylor, Set of "Giant", by Frank Worth.

For Magpie Tales with Tess Kincaid
LIZ
Twirling a lariat
Was natural
For Liz
The heat of the dry land
Was insignificant
Beside the heat
Of this rising star
She rode horses
And others to fame
With one true love
Like oil and water
Seven men loved her
She loved them all
Short and sweet
Her passion
And turmoil
Made her a star
And a woman
Many men
Wanted
To love
Gone but remembered
She
Will
Always be
"Like a cat
On a hot tin roof"
But with diamonds

She fled from the house without her blouse. She grabbed a rope, what a dope...

Excellent. The twirling lariat wormed its way into my poem too! I love the homage to the Cat on a Hot Tin Roof as well.

She never loved any of them enough to give her diamonds back . . . lol
Cheers Eddie :)
