Modern Princess

Many little girls just want to be a princess,
with sparkling diadem and long silky dress.
Alas! They all forgot that only in the story
they could get their shiny castle and glory!

If you want to be a princess from the past
than you will live in the cold stone house,
dirty floors all covered with a soil and dust
and on the attic, possible, family of mouse.

No radio, no TV, no pc with games to play,
maybe your bed will be covered with pink,
with few books days are going to be gray.
I have something interesting for you! Wink!

I knew a real princess living here with us,
she is always kind and ready for applause.
She is also fairy and she is writing poetry,
telling you stories about all kind of mysteries.

She does not need any castles made of stone
in Pixieland and our hearts, she has a throne.
Her name is coming from the old Persian land,
Shahrzad Maftooh, princess, pixie and friend.

    Thank you Elizabeth for nice comment and applause. We, pixies must be able to understand and to see borders between reality and Pixieland life . Well, we are not living in the castle like this one mentioned above...LOL.

    I can't recognize you James. Every day you are a little more naughty. Thank you for your sweet comment, but if you are interested about Shahrzad genealogy, you will have to ask her.
    Do not laugh too loud ROFL.

    You are always welcome to visit all pixieland castles, and much more... At first, broom in your hand if you want to play and dance there. Vacumiser can't help without electricity
    Maybe I have some special, interesting castle for you too

    Perfect!

    You makes me to laugh loud LOL. Only you can do that. I am not sure that I will think about old castles this way:
    dirty floors all covered with a soil and dust
    and on the attic, possible, family of mouse.
    What a foxy idea! No TV and pc games! I will have to show this poem to my girls too. I am sure that Shahrzad Maftooh is nice person and to be modern princess is great idea. I realy like it. I am impressed with rhyme and vivid pictures. But, with her name, are you sure that she is not the real one? LOL
