This is the first poem I've thrown out in the blogosphere (except for a silly one for an earlier Sunday Scribblings). So laugh silently please.
Tiara
Lady Di before
Bulimia, Divorce, Death.
Within a geode,
Snow-capped mountains
On a sunny day,
Rime of ice
On partly frozen pond.
A quiet street,
Ranch homes,
Dichondra lawns
Pavement burning
On bare toes.
With metal key,
Palm trees,
A monkey named Kong,
Honest!
Crushing snails against stone.
They eat the plants.
Prevent heart disease.
Family feasts:
Brisket made with catsup.
Swimming and sewing.
She’s a seamstress.
Crown of memories.

I'd say bravo, you're brave- but you don't have to be brave to post this fine poem! Great details.
I enjoyed reading that. I hope you'll carry on writing poems on your blog!
Wonderful! I loved it. Especially your first stanza.
Brisket with catsup, huh? And swimming and sewing!
Crown of memories...I love it! Great job!

Due to my inability to see things accurately I read the last line as ‘clown of memories’. It made perfect sense that way too.
I'm surprised you are worried about people laughing. That's not what this is about, but your poem was wonderful and very unique. I don't think I've seen any poems online about Lady Di, much less what a tiara means to you. Keep it up!
C'mon, you did know that it wasn't a poem to laugh about, but to enjoy. Right?
This is a great effort - you should give yourself more credit! I especially loved:
"Pavement burning
On bare toes."
I could feel it even as I was reading.
Thanks for posting a line from this great poem to Poetry Thursday for this week's challenge. I really enjoyed using it in my own writing!
