The Poetry Of MARILYN MONROE

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Life—
I am both your directions
Existing more with the cold frost
Strong as a cobweb in the wind
Hanging downward the most
Somehow remaining
those beaded rays have the colors
I've seen the paintings—ah life
***

    Strong as a cobweb in the wind
    is a line that only someone with
    a true poetic spirit could write.

      I fully concur with your comment
      and feel a compelling need to note
      this poem was reproduced exactly
      as Marilyn had written it with exactly
      two lines beginning in lower case

      -Oliverio
