When I
                                                  feel down 
                                              and out of sorts
                                        and have no get up and go
                                  the only thing that lifts my spirits
                                      ^|^                                ^|^

                          the longer the better ~ the wilder they are
                                        they are making me grin
                                        I am feeling them swing
                                          when moving my head
                                           zany rings in my ears
                                              some they are odd 
                                             some they are even
                                            I wear them together
                                          with flowers in my hair
                                       lifting me          making me
                                      outlandish          eccentric
                                     zany I grow         old  disgracefully
                                   but what do           I care ~ with                           
                        bright red camellias         adorning my hair

hahaha... I am so glad you enjoyed it Jan, after writing two poems about grief earlier I needed a lift myself... but it is true about my earrings they really do lift me and the crazier they are the better. Hope all is well with you and your family dear Jan ~ with love and hugs Ann xx
