A haiku for the 90th anniversary of Marilyn Monroe's birth

On this day ninety years ago, in 1926, actress Marilyn Monroe was born Norma Jeane Mortenson in Los Angeles. Here is a found poem, a haiku, of mine in which I quote her as she was quoted in the 2016 edition of The Old Farmer's Almanac.

HAIKU: LIKE DIAMONDS IN THE SKY
A found poem by Monty Gilmer

"We are all of us
stars," said the actress, "and we
deserve to twinkle."

Marilyn Monroe in 1952
