NATHANIEL R in Birthday, Moulin Rouge!, Nicole Kidman, Oscars (00s)

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)
