Carmen Miranda
Daddy's dead.
And I didn't kill him, like Sylvia said.
And I cried
on the day he died.
I don't know why.

If Mum reads this,
who will she miss?
Will it be me?
Or our absentee?
Either way, she won't cry...

Carmen Miranda, Portuguese-born Brazilian samba singer, dancer, actress and film star, died today in 1955.

Kajol, Indian film actress, was born today in 1974.

    I really love your blog and your poetry. I see that someone else thought the same thing I did and nominated you for a Liebster Award. I would understand if you didn’t want to go through it again but if you are so inclined here is the link https://wordpress.com/post/todaysblog/5006
    Keep up the good work!
