Best Poem of Dorothy Parker
A Very Short Song
Once, when I was young and true,
Someone left me sad-
Broke my brittle heart in two;
And that is very bad.
Love is for unlucky folk,
Love is but a curse.
Once there was a heart I broke;
And that, I think, is worse.
Transition
Too long and quickly have I lived to vow
The woe that stretches me shall never wane,
Too often seen the end of endless pain
To swear that peace no more shall cool my brow.
I know, I know- again the shriveled bough
Will burgeon sweetly in the gentle rain,
And these hard lands be quivering with grain-
I tell you only: it is Winter now.
short and sweet poems are brilliant by her!
My heart soars when I hear dottie [3
It’s cool how you can create so many different poems and sentences with just a few words. Brillant post!
But i Loved this poem more -

Dorothy Parker rings my bell - too loud and too clear.
beautiful is your creation.
Simple, honest, sharp and friendly! It's so hard to create simplicity in poetry.Using colloquial language with a sharp sense of humour. It seems a little cruel, as she judges life.
In Dorothy Parker's 'The Dark Girl's Rhyme', there is an error. It's 'folk of mud and flame', not 'folk of mud and name.' Every Dorothy Parker reference on the internet (that I have found) has the same error.
I adore Dorothy Parker!
She is one of the most amazing writers and women, with her witty sense of humor and her sarcasm. I love her!
