Farewell American Rose


Farewell American Rose
(For Elizabeth Taylor)

Farewell American Rose
We will surely miss you.

You dazzled millions of souls
With your beautiful violet eyes
And with your charming smiles
You held many lovers captive in Hollywood.

Many said you took the primrose path
Looking for your Prince Charming
But only God knows if you found him
In any of the seven men you married.
I will always light a candle for you
On your birthday and your last day
The candle light will glow in my heart
Illuminating unforgettable memories of you.

Farewell American Rose
We will surely miss you.

orikinla, your poem pinched me like niddle
Like i hadn't written a poem of my own
Your lines are genuine
Like you were loaded with tears
I like the stances and the words you chose carefully

Thank you for the appreciation. I am going to produce it as a song in the US and donate the royalties to the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation. If you have composed enough poems, you should publish a collection. God bless.

Elizabeth Taylor was born in the U.K.

Hampstead Garden Suburb, London, England ,

But I'm sure both the U.S. and the U.K. will gladly claim her as their own. smiley

Whaoo! is what i can say
To a poem whose stances is a bay
How could it be if it is in may

Becous this talent is wat i pray.
Keep it up, love ur poem.
