Haiku for Nicole

For Nicole Kidman on her 44th birthday...


Oh Sparkling Diamond
bewitching bohemians and
moviegoers, too.

Your breakthrough triumph
"She sings! She dances! She dies!"
Still thrills us. But then...

Grace with figurines
Anna at the opera
Suzanne on TV

Margot's chilled wine
Virginia's "violent jolt"
Becca with her grief...

These conjured women!
We would give you ten Oscars
Were they ours to give.


Your turn. If that 5/7/5 rhythm is too much effort this morning... feel free to compose a limerick or a simple rhyme.

Moulin Rouge! (2001), The Hours (2002), Birth and Dogville (2004), To Die For (1995), Margot at the Wedding (1997), Rabbit Hole (2010)

Dearest Nicole: I
prefer your new men (Oscar
and Keith) to Tom Cruise.

Nooo! Ten Oscars would be WAY too much. Ugh. The one she's got is already wrong because it belongs to Julianne Moore. If at all, I guess she should have won for Moulin Rouge or one of her not nominated performances.
BTW, I think her performance in Cold Mountain is severely underrated.

cinephile -- i let the emotions get the best of me. i wouldn't give anyone ten Oscars ;)

Frizzy Australian,
cool and distant (maybe scared?)
Freedom warms her up.

A simple rhyme here (no haiku):

Satine (so lovely bathed in blue):
«A real actress»; It has come true!

As Virginia you got an Oscar too.
Some would argue you've earned quite a few ;)

I confess, ever since you checked in to
the Bangkok Hilton I've been hooked on you!

Hawaiian Goddess
Or Really Australian
Stole my heart away

Who else could be so
legendary after that
amount of botox.

June 21, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterNina

Yay... i'm so happy y'all played along.

June 21, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterNathaniel R

Ferocious red:
Haters gonna hate
Criticize your choice of mate
Focus on your Botox use
Kick you in your sweet caboose

But you are a queen, ravenous Nic
Of all film goddesses, you're my pic
Virginia and Satine you played to a tee
You embody your characters perfectly
Your success is due to more than luck
That scene in Birth? Holy fuck!
Simply put, you rock the world.
Happy birthday, Birthday Girl

Wow that was beautiful!!! Nicole is by far my favourite actor, and I completely agree that she deserves many Oscars for the countless number of diverse, challenging film roles she has taken on - from Dogville to Moulin Rouge!, Birth to Australia, and Rabbit Hole to Margot At The Wedding <3 A damn fine actress, and a lovely woman inside and out!
