I love Dorothy Parker, and your poem is spot on. True to form as well,,,
I'm still working on mine. It's comprised entirely of three-syllable earth-centered words, or...
...terra dactyls.
Thanks, I'm here all week.
Shay, ha ha ha. I was asking similar questions!
Lola, I am a huge Dorothy Parker fan, so this was perfect. Congrats on tackling the form and winning! AMy
I don't think I know of her... I looked her up and it said "American poet ... critic and satirist, best known for her wit, wisecracks and eye for 20th century urban foibles. Sounds like a blend of Mama Zen & Fireblossom ;)
Do you have a favorite poem (or book) of hers?
Love the quote and the way you have showcased the lady in your lines. She was a hoot, probably not when you were her victim.
Oh, wonderful, Ms Mouse. Dorothy Parker was my idol. What a great role model, speaking her mind no matter who minded.

Yay! I'm a great Dorothy Parker fan. She has some fabulous quotes. One of my favs is, "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy." :o)
I like the humorous aspect of the double dactyl, and you brought out this lady's personality very well.
