The Death of Marilyn Monroe Comments

A superb poem well deserving as the Modern Poem of the Day.Hearty Congratulations.

A soul stirring poem! It was so different experience who handled the deadbody of Merilyn Monroe.She was famous as an actress and also for her beauty.But after death, the dead body was like many others.It was no different. Death is the great equaliser..

Such a powerful poem about the trauma that some have to face every day due to the nature of their work. Very deserving of POD! Congratulations, Sharon!

CONGRATULATIONS being chosen by Pioem Hunter as The Modern Poem Of The Day. Hooray! ! Last year same date 23 April 2019. I have read manby poems of the great poetess and my conclusion remains the same: Poetess Sharon Olds IS true sublimest and I love the structure of her words, crystal clear. Excellent way of creating poems

Before I write down a comment about the great poetess Sharon Olds, she IS a great North American Poetess. I will cite here a comment of Author Michael Ondaatje says of her work " Sharon Olds's poems are pure fire in the hands, risky, on the verge of falling, and in the end leaping up. I love the roughness and humor and brag and tenderness and completion in her work as she carries the reader through rooms of passion and loss. Exactly!

Excellent style of the narration has made the serious scenario memorable. Well deserved modern poem of the day.

strand of hair, as if it mattered, saw the shape of her, flattened by gravity, under the sheet carried her, as if it were she, down the steps. a very good poem which gives the reader points to think of life. tony

JFK's favourite squeeze. How about one on Princess Diana.

Olds is, of course, one of our greatest poets. What I think she captures here is the power of the authentically feminine which is beyond the sexual. Dorothy Dinerstein's " The Mermaid and the Minotaur" is my entry into this area. It is what we must come to if we are to hope for genuine change.

An extremely striking poem. Congratulations on having it selected as poem of the day.

Looking at a famous person, we thing they have everything. Little do we know. Death changes lives. Interesting write. Thank You

We are all the same and " fame" is such a phony thing

read what KEVIN HAS TO SAY pains, impotence, depression ALL ACTIONS OF HUMANS MANLY... Don't know of the veracity of truth, but I will say its a compelling story, Monroe the symbol a paragon of feminine mystique and sensuality, reduced to nothing more then a rotten siff, a pile of decaying flesh. She was the dream girl of many a man (perhaps a few women) now shes just a dream. Thought provoking work,

Death is easy, the living with it is trick, great poem congrats on PTD

Their lives took a turn-one had nightmares, strange pains, impotence, depression.....so touching. Beautiful poem. Thanks and congratulations for being selected this poem as the modern poem of the poem of the day.

o greatly penned- Even death seemed different to him-a place where she would be waiting, .../// superb poem

Fantastic aftermath about the mental state of attendants who carried the bead body of Marilyn Monroe has been brilliantly portrayed in this well deserved modern poem of the Day.

Don't know of the veracity of truth, but I will say its a compelling story, Monroe the symbol a paragon of feminine mystique and sensuality, reduced to nothing more then a rotten siff, a pile of decaying flesh. She was the dream girl of many a man (perhaps a few women) now shes just a dream. Thought provoking work, would make a really good short story.

after all the life they'd seen of her

Dead body! ! Heavy as iron! ! ! ! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
