A Poem Inspired By A Book She Designed

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Joan Crawford

Hollywood emeralds

Black as Thai tea

Tourmaline shine

Out from early eras

Makeup drained

Out to the sea

Back to silken

Wild lives
Now hidden
In history

                                                                          

The photograph of Joan Crawford
is from  this book.

I would not have posted
a truncated image of the cover
if the hyperlink for this
1992 Abrams Book
mentioned the name
of the designer.

Then neither will  I 
mention her name.

But I will tell you:

1. She  wrote the poem above.

2. She is the smarter half
of the GoFather braintrust.
