Greta Garbo, actress. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
She had mystique
Cinematique
Famous directors
Brooded on her face
But of such passion
Never a trace
Never a trace
She was sympathetic
Cinematique
But for their yearning
She felt not a thing
This bird barely spoke
And never would sing
And never would sing
Not one to critique
Cinematique
Her time on the screen
Was a flickering sign
There but for a moment
And not by design
And not by design

Thank you!! 🙂 🙂
Greta Garbo eh A beautiful woman. And a lovely poem Helen, very engaging. Liked it.
Thanks so much Michael – I wrote the poem without anyone in mind, then thought who fits it best, came up with Greta and went and found a photo o her!! 🙂 🙂
Great poem. Sounds rather sad and mournful. I only recognize the name, so I’m not sure how it fits.
Greta Garbo was a famous actress/screen icon who was very reclusive in her later years. 🙂 Thanks!! 🙂
Got it. Thanks. 🙂
