Rita Hayworth - Staying Alive!

Lorna



She was best in black and white

Had them swooning through the night

Sometimes yes and sometimes tease

Promised all her mysteries

Time has passed and now she's gone

Just the screen to sing her song

She gave them all some great romance

But brother, could that lady dance!

  • Comment from author about the poem: I just love old movies and the old stars - this poem is a tribute to Rita and a vehicle to show you the video - more fun than anything! Enjoy!! Get up and dance! (Best tribute was that Fred Astaire said she was the partner he most enjoyed dancing with! Wow!)

    Made me want to get them out again - her moves that is 🙂

    • Lorna

      Wasn't it great (the video) - she and Fred Astaire looked like they were having the most fun of all........! I don't think people think of her first as a dancer - which is what she was.............(I fixed typos in case you read while they were still there)............

      • Michael Edwards

        Never been anyone to touch them.

        • Lorna

          Yes and the video is amazing........ whoever did it got every move to the music just right - made them timelessly modern!

          • Laura🌻

            You’re absolutely spot on about the video!
            “...timelessly modern!”

              Watching the video (again!) has set this day off on the right (and left) foot!

                • Lorna

                  And she could sing!

                  • orchidee

                    Which is more than can be said for me??!! lol.

                    • Lorna

                      So you keep saying and I don't believe you.......

                      • orchidee

                        Now look lol. A couple of people, on different occasions, said they heard me singing nicely. I hope they were singing too, not just listening to me! I don't do solos!

                        • Lorna

                          Well people have heard me singing and they have said - not so politely - to stop it.... I save for the shower....

                        • kevin browne

                          great tribute to a great artist.

                          Hi Lorna,

                          As a film buff I could not resist reading your wonderful poem on Rita Hayworth.

                          One of the most divine love goddesses of the silver screen.

                          Keep writing
                          FineB
