Tribute to Molly Parkin

Hello Poetry Lovers

Molly Parkin has sadly left us, and I couldn’t help but post a tribute to such an icon, and for so many reasons.

Unique and colourful, I read her books and articles relentlessly. I also adored her poetry.

I only met Ms Parkin once and I found her a lovely human being. So I’ve put together a fitting sort of poem here, from my perspective anyway. Do read on….

So farewell, Molly Parkin

I loved your book Love All

It made me blush profusely

And I learnt words like Felatio  

After your one woman show

 at the Bloomsbury theatre

You admired my white silk blouse

I could only blush and stutter!

You were so frank and open

How I fell about with awe

And you said the C word

You were never ever bourgeois

Full up, Up and Coming, Write Up

I devoured your written words!

Naively discovering you at 18

I became worldly by your third

Goodbye and thank you, Molly

Thanks for reading, PL’s. I hope it’s an apt tribute.

Thanks for tuning in, we’ll be back with more poetry adventures real soon….
