You Ain’t No Norma Jean You know you ain’t no Norma Jean Even though you got the smile You sure don’t fit the dream Leaning there upon the tile Life’s stage has been somewhat unkind But still there’s a grace from yesteryear When once you stood with stronger mind Not ensnared by life’s new fear Now you’re just a vessel in the void Sailing streets of shadowed light Wrapped tightly up in celluloid One more goddess of the night The cruisin’ and the bruisin’ They’re lost within the Gunja haze It’s cold, and dank, and lonesome But those eyes they are ablaze They come in clockwork session Always leaving with a yawn Proffering the same old question Those strangers, misinformed No one’s privy to the reasons All part of that master plan But you know throughout the seasons They’re nothing more than grains of sand And so I’ll pass you by again Catching your eyes in broken light Wondering why it is we feel this pain And seek our answers in the night We are all just prisoners here of our own device ~ Hotel California, The Eagles |

Hi Eddie! I think I'm too young to understand, but certainly not too young to appreciate! Good write, Eddie. I also enjoyed the language and the imagery. Bec |

Nice portrait here. You managed to paint your subject without a hint of malice or judgement. "You Ain't No Norma Jean" turns into a matter of fact statement through your deft penning. Enjoyed. |

Regina ~ Thank you so much, so pleased you enjoyed. Marge ~ Thanks Marge, hugs to you as always! Noah ~ your too kind words are always appreciated, thank you. PdV ~ I truly thank you! Coco ~ It was unintentional but I think it does have that kind of feel to it, glad you enjoyed, than you. I just wanted to thank you all, your kind words and thoughts are much appreciated. This one is special to me and I’m glad you were able to experience it in the way it was intended, and that you found enjoyment in as well. Thank you, and take care!
