HITLER'S WOMEN

(Germany’s new 20th century women
beautiful,confident, captivating, Prussian.
Chasing aesthetic ideals or
creative self-deception?)

 

Reifenstahl’s ‘Olympia’-n
fulfilled Hitler’s
ambition
for the
perfect Aryan
and
caused a sensation
in the
Furher’s
leiderhosen

 

Maria Magdelena Dietrich
as Prussian as you get
so her name she did set
with all that
discipline
to be
‘Marlene’

 

Now in Berlin
the capital of
sin
gave the temptress
a sexy new address

 

‘Lola-Lola’
the believable
tramp
gave the Third Reich
regular stiff
cramp

 

A secret admiration
for ‘Blue Angel’
did Hitler profess
but Dietrich
never was the
Furher’s
mistress

Isn’t it a wonder that

Isn't it a wonder that poetry can be found anywhere one looks? Cool poem... Nice example for every Neopoet. ~A Words must be used like stepping stones: lightly and with nimbleness, because if you step on them too heavily, you incur the danger of falling into the intellectual mire of logic and reason. - Balsekar
