Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Ghost of Peg


With dreams of film stardom she came

To Hollywood, but soon she died.

Peg Entwistle in death got fame

For jumping to her suicide

From "H" top in the Hollywood

Sign, leaving a short note below,

That doing this was for the good.

Soon afterward her ghost would show

To passersby with her sad face,

Dressed in 1930's attire,

As though bound in this time and place,

Still chasing film stardom desire.


Scent of gardenias in the air,

Peg's favored perfume she would wear.
