Mildred Pierce Poem by Stefanie Fontker

Mildred Pierce



She dances with men,
Naked but clothed.
Praising a daughter
That's a wolf dressed
In the skin of a sheep.
Crying tears of despair,
Over a mannequin,
That sings with glee.
Less than a dollar
To her million times
Changed last name.
Striving to be more
Than she was born to be.
A dime-store diamond,
Shining brighter than day,
Chasing pretty rainbows,
During the deepest night.
May she someday sleep well.

Yes its a nice poem.I think the title it's as a baby's name and a film also'' Mildred pierce''.sometimes because of her 'gentle strength' as its meaning is, , she may have acted like this way.. But actually i dont know what was the concept in your mind..

that's lyrical, moving and with touches of deep symbolism...you've dived deep somewhere into the poetic psyche with this poem...
