Tiara’d Crowns [for the over 40 crowd] #1 You know them, they who deserve a lilting, tilting sparkle upon their crown, who adjust their well worn tiaras over the creases that reach from their smiling eyes to a graying hairline… you know them. That woman in your life, the one who gumbied through your trials and tribulations, who force-fed you some truths that you hauled out to the dump, cussing all the way…. but you came around with the sole apology being that you showed up on time for supper. You know them. This girl in your life, the one you catch dancing with a broomstick, because you’re too tired to make magic… she’s the one who will still dance in your dreams… you know them. You see her, and make no mistake, her tiara is the brightest, even if held tight to her wispy crown with bobby pins, or a shell comb; she, who believed in all your fantasies, even when they were wrong, and even when she won’t be here to bosom your shame, her blood beats on in your line. See the young girl dancing… your child of earth-love. Ready her tiara for a long life, and make sure you set the diamonds tight. "It matters not this distance now" from Yesterday's Love ~*~ KRJ |

"This girl in your life, the one you catch dancing with a broomstick, because you’re too tired to make magic… she’s the one who will still dance in your dreams… you know them." and "See the young girl dancing… your child of earth-love. Ready her tiara for a long life, and make sure you set the diamonds tight." Yes!! Yes!! Brilliant writing Karilea!! Into my library & did I see a #1? That means more, right? YES!!

OMG! This must be the day of masterful writes. I haven't read one today that I didn't want to keep and treasure. Here you go again, lining my shelves with magic. Thank you, Sunshine. When, if, things slow down for you, drop me an e-mail! I think about you often, and believe it or not, still take an occasion to try to master the song I began writing. misc |

Well, I know this was intended for those over the age of 40, but I thought I'd pop in because the title intrigued me!  ~ and may the diamonds in your tiara be set tight for life!  A wonderful write! Love & Sun Light, Linda  |

Now I know why I never wear a tiara...and those gowns! The only ones that fit me are those empire waist things and then I just look like J. Edgar Hoover when he called himself Rose. Echhh...what's a fellow to do???  |

Yep. I know of them, I know them sometimes I've been one of them. Excellent job with this poem it's so light and romantic despite the grey hair. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
