Interesting

This is very interesting.

I loved it, great pice too.

Lovely,creative poem!

Good adaption of the old classic Nate.
Like it.

I loved the pictures and think you captured the dark underbelly of Hollywood, and how Judy’s innocent Dorothy contrasted with her tortured persional life. Kudos

Innocence is Bliss, good entry!

Somewhere over the rainbow
of dreams and expectations;
through our fantasies we go,
past our life’s anticipations;
Lies a pot of treasured gold
or a golden pot of lies;
where the destiny we’re sold
either lives for us, or dies.

When the fog of dreams has lifted
and we see the rainbow’s end;
then the pot of gold is sifted,
for each man’s worth that it portends.
As we count the golden treasure
for the riches that it pays;
Dare we count it as a measure
of how we’ve spent our earthly days?

Wonderful subject choice for the challenge. A great contrast as already said.

where the dreams that we dare to dream really do come true

what a load of crap

we should make our own rainbows and stop chasing others.

I can just picture you rocking that out Nate.

Man, I was going to write exactly what Bull did; now I don\’t know what to say.
Seriously, I dug,, as did others, the apparent dichotomy, though there may have been some overlap, of someone as troubled as Judy Garland playing sweet and innocent, a tribute to Garland\’s talent.

Sorry about the double, but I meant what I said and I meant what I said.

Nice one for the challenge Nate. It never is what its suppose to be, if you can make any sense out of what i said because i can\’t. Well done friend.

wonderful work Nate….

Well that was bitter.

So sad – an immense talent wasted. There are many of them. Garland is just one that we can so plainly see. Well done, my friend.

this was really sad…

An interesting and provocative contrast. Liked.

I wonder if Kermit agrees too Seriously that was really good. I liked that a lot. Great use of the challenge words bloke. Thanks for playing dude.

Judy Garland charmed the world with her singing and dancing..when she reached middle-age, her life became plagued with personal problems..when she made her final appearance dressed (ironically) as a clown..a stagehand was quoted as saying “no more yellow-brick road.” Have you read the book ‘Under The Rainbow” bud? An intimate and interesting read about the vulnerable all-American sweetheart turned self-destructive..an excellent piece for Duff’s challenge

Hehe…TBH…I am not a Judy Garland fan. I never did like musicals.

She just came to mind while I was writing the piece. I just know that the studio bosses kept her loaded up with speed so she could keep going and going.

The contrast between the innocent roles she played, especially as a child-star and her eventual self-destrucion seemed to fit this piece nicely.

Nice imagery and it tells a great story

Interesting post…good work…

great piece – even today with all the protection available, there’s no doubt child stars are still vulnerable to financial and emotional exploitation by those they trust

nice ..article thank for shareing

nice artilce as always
