    Marilyn Monroe

    You made your lips more real
    with lipstick, your red
    lips
    swallow a balcony
    full of eyes.

    By J.T.Parreira
    The poetry is the subject of the poem.

    As always, these short, but powerful poems speak volumes. Very clever with the lips.

    I wasn't entirely grabbed by this one, maybe because I've grown blase about the adoration of MM, but I agree that J.T. Parreira's ability with the succinct poem is admirable.

    How true, the power of a certain look.
    I'm in love with The Vinegar Man and Mr. Tanner, but be careful, it could just as easily be you.
