For the Love of Olive Thomas
The most beautiful ghost in New York45 total reviews
Comment from Ogden
An interesting concoction of a fable. A fictional man's seemingly impossible craving for a phantom temptress, or a non-fictional poet's fantasy craving for her?

Comment from judester
This is a fantastic poem and tribute to a tragic life of a woman whose beauty seemed to be a curse. You have written a moving vignette yourself. Bravo to you, her and all the other beautiful women that needed a voice. Cheers, judester

Comment from DR DIP
Wow what amazing authors notes for a start Meia. The poem anbout her life is very well written and doesn't follow any set rhyme scheme which can make it rather disjointed to read in part but nonetheless I enjoyed your take on her short life

Comment from Spitfire
She is a beauty, but does look sad. What a terrible childhood. Her philosophy of life that you quote at the end indicates to me that she numbed her emotions when young and that's how she survived.
A well-written poem that flows smoothly and shows the power of love.

This is an awesome poem. This poem is so good that it made me fall in love with Olive myself. However, I will not be joining her in death as I love life even more than any movie star vixen. Your poetic skills are quite impressive. I am also impressed with how you dig into history in many of your poems. I am something of a history buff myself. I am going to keep my eyes on you.

Thank-you so very much! My favourite poems are historical ones, usually based on little heard of fascinating people. Thank-you so much for your exceptionally kind review!warmest regards, Meia x
Comment from giraffmang
Hi there,
Perhaps consider writing out thirty one rather than using the numbers in the opening line. And with nineteen later on as well.
The structure / formatting threw me a little with the four line/five line even when the five line contains the four line rhyme sequence., but I worked through it. lol
Good strong piece

A quite enjoyable read! I admit to never having heard of her, and found your background information fascinating.
You did an excellent job on this. Blessings... Christy

Comment from dragonpoet
These two both led sad lives where people used them. It is the first story where two suicides lead to eternal love. Maybe that's the way Romeo and Juliet ended up after they both died. It would be a perfect sequel to the story.
She was a beautiful girl.
Keep writing
