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

Nice biography.
Diamonds ~~~ what she seemed to love best?
Hit of the land and hit of LIZ's talent - love this comparison. ~ Nice swirling :)x
yes diamonds- I forgot about those diamonds! Well done!
I am writing mine before i read yours.
She fled from the house without her blouse. She grabbed a rope, what a dope...
ok, so i read yours and she is/was all that your wrote. and you got it all in one short poem.. i have never seen a movie she was in... but even so know all about her...
she was something, for sure.
Wonderful tribute. She was one of a kind, wasn't she!

a beautiful beautiful tribute to a beautiful woman!!
Lovely in all your details.
Not many stars quite a glamorous as Liz, are they? Thanks for the thoughts.
Well done on getting it all in there so cleverly.
Ah, she was indeed a star and many loved her but, she did have a thing
for diamonds. Clever write Gail..
The last stanza made me smile and dance aloud... but with diamonds!
Good one . . .
Diamonds . . . yes . . . and will
Always be
"Like a cat
On a hot tin roof"
Aphrodite Forever ! ...loved it ..
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.
Maggie the cat is alive...
Great take
She never loved any of them enough to give her diamonds back . . . lol
Cheers Eddie :)
Liz would be proud of your poem! I love your last line! You nailed the write!
Lovely tribute to a fantastic leading lady :) ~ Jen
No matter what she always sizzled!
