Glopowrimo #19 - ABCDErian poem 2

Koshy's gallery of literary women - I failed in many places - maybe you can help me ;)

Alice in wonderland & through the looking glass
Beatrice who was Dante's muse so fair
Catherine whose love for Heathcliff was as wild as the hinterlands
Darling Wendy who made Peter Pan's heart flutter in bands
Elektra, who was in love with her father
?Felicity Porter, the TV serial girl so glam
?Gabriela Goddzer, her unknown TV sis
Helen whose face launched a thousand ships
I, the heroine in so many novels, including Jane Eyre
Judith and Juiet, both; who can forget
Kunti, the mother of Karna, son of the Sun
Laura who was turned into a laurel in Ovid
Magdalena Maria, famed, one of a kind
Nora, from Ibsen, who broke a doll's house
O, the mysterious woman in The Story of O
Panchali, the one who was everyone's pawn
?(Querelle of Brest, from Genet's masterpiece - a man!)
Rita, in Educating Rita, just great
Sita, who finally was swallowed by Ma Bhumi
?Tara, the goddess in Buddha's world, star
? Urania, the astronomy muse
Vina Apsara, from Rushdie's Groind Beneath her Feet
Wonder Woman, with her golden lasso
?Xanthippe, Socrates' wife
?Yekaterina, I am yet to create her
? Zinnia, the name of a flower.

Glopowrimo 18 - Ode on the Death of a Favourite Mobile

"What female heart can gold despise
What cat's averse to fish?"
Asked Gray, in a fit of caprice
Unexpected, from one as he
But for men, we can't despise
'Gadgets', guns, bikes, and mobiles
You can add cars,comps and guitars
But mobiles are the latest craze
My golden Samsung Galaxy J 7
How snugly it fit in my palm
How many hours of gazing pleasure
Looking at its blue-black face
Till it fell down from my hand
Not once but seventy times seven
Stopped working
Visage shattered
Lies in a coma on my table
Cannot be resuscitated
Euthanasia is required
I vainly try to resurrect
Five years of my mobile life
'Who ever tried that did not fail'
Comforts me as I the corpse shake
Shed for me a few tears
For my Samsung J 7 Galaxy
While I keep on trying to
Make it work, at least rarely!
