Who Are The Classics ?!?!?! :o

So I submitted this poem to the literary magazine and they cut half of it out. I’m not really sure why, maybe because it’s about virginity and they thought that subject was inappropriate or maybe the rest of it just wasn’t good. But to clarify, I wrote this because it includes my favorite quote from Audrey Hepburn and I love her. Although, I don’t even mind that they didn’t publish the complete poem; I only submitted it for a previous extra credit grade. Also, while we’re on the subject of classic women, today would’ve been the 85^th birthday of the fabulous Marilyn Monroe, may she rest in peace. <333

I absolutely love all the classic women of the past. I adore the strength and leadership that they so effortlessly symbolized. I own several collectable books about these women and love learning about the history of their lives. Even my ‘blog’ (http://subliminaladjectives.tumblr.com [WARNING: parental advisory, Not Safe For Work] lol) repeatedly features these women.

I often wonder, who will be the ‘classic women’ of our children’s’ decade. Will it be people like Kim Kardashian, Nicki Minaj, Lady Gaga, Adriana Lima, Megan Fox, Anne Hathaway, and Resse Witherspoon. With my knowledge of our classic women, I know that it isn’t just beauty and skill in their career that gave them that title. But these women also obtained class and huge amounts of courage. Yes, Lady Gaga, Kim Kardashian and Nicki Minaj do take lots of risks in their careers and have courage to do so. But they aren’t the classiest women. As for Adriana Lima and Megan Fox, they are both well known for the beauty, but many of their ‘fans’ can’t see passed this and don’t know what kind of people they are on the inside. At least Gaga lets her fans somewhat into her life and shares things with them. Lastly, actresses aren’t the most popular in the pop-culture industry lately, but the last two women I mentioned seem to be amazing people and don’t seem like their careers will be ending any time soon. I have high hopes for all these ladies, and definitely wish them all the best. :-*

Purely a Lady

A lady is rare.

She is one who cares, while always remaining aware

Of all that surrounds her.

She handles attraction in perfect composure,

Even in chaos she gives her conscience some moral closure,

While foul men make it a goal to expose her.

The same arrogant men who think they’re superior,

Those are the ones wholly responsible for the barrier.

The barrier that guards her heart and chastity

Will linger ‘til she is wed and death do them part or disparity.

She knows it’s a must, which she’ll never trust

These men who only crave lust.

The great Audrey Hepburn has said:

“I don’t need a bedroom to prove my womanliness.

I can convey just as much appeal fully clothed,

Picking apples off a tree,

Or standing in the rain.”

And so with this said

She resting in her bed,

In knowledge of legendary support.

She thanks ‘oh great Hepburn’ for giving her strength,

To continuously carry this weight,

Of her pure virginity.
