Im not a movie lover, not even know the star...im sorry because of my lack of exposure in movies. But as i explore him with the reference u added, helped by facts i found. I amazed! I amaze of how adoration can help a fan craft a beautiful tribute. The diction from line to line is " something" ! Love it

Soul, thank you so very much. The poem itself starts with Bronson and then addresses other works. I find they all have something, some common theme. Thanks again.

i 'loved' C. Bronson in Death Wish. In 1972 movie The Mechanic, Arthur Bishop (Charles Bronson) is a veteran hit man. I didn't see it. It seems the hit man thought of himself as an (killing) 'artist'. I like you, Mj Lemon, and shall continue to (as a friend) , but the poem is a stinker for me. Am i nuts, as i found it under " hot poems" on PH main page? i 'never' visit 'hot poems' nor much else PH suggests. bri :) p.s. the title attracted me

Likewise, Bri....But I do toil under the weight of the abstract and surreal. To paraphrase the opposite of what one great academic once said....sometimes, maybe, a flower pot isn't just a flower pot.

Kostas, I agree! And Susan, yes Ginger Rogers was a great actress. So, by the way, was Astaire. I think they both did some of their finest work in drama after the 1940s. Richard, thank you so much. Something you mentioned really reminds me of the 70s, a time when all of the artists you mention did some of their finest work.

A great homage to an underrated legendary actor. Brought back some memories of him, John Wayne, Marlon Brando, James Dean et al. The truly vivid imagery is awe-inspiring! M.J., all of your work is truly outstanding. This is one of your very best! Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

I didn't see this movie but I enjoyed Charles Bronson in other movies- especially the Great Escape... it is odd how each generation clasps their singers or movie stars close and deny the new ones taking their place have any equal talent- -my Mother loved Ginger Rogers and I learned that she wasn't just a dancer partnering with Fred Astaire- - she was an actress, a very fine one....10 +++++++++

Thank you LeeAnn and Poet. LeeAnn, I agree: he was the best! And Poet, under no circumstances under some drain...We are, after all, " modern generation" .

I do think Charles Bronson was the best also. But the black cats are frightful especially at Halloween I think Bravo!
