Behatted




Behatted 


He wore a hat
Slanted just so
Forged against
Relentless  stress
He wore his hat

She wore a hat
As a filigreed egg
shell perched in
delicate slouch
She wore her hat

Each Innate walked
the  boggy coast of emotions'

raging rampant spectrum

With bland
Faces into the winds
Hats whipped from
Heads

They met

Chasing their
tumbling hats 

over marshed
fragrant fields
to the horizon
there just ahead
on the ribboned

running path to
Rejuvenate

  2. Hats can define us, so be careful of the one you choose.

  5. This is lovely, Pearl. Your use of the hat provided a strong rhythm to the piece. The image of them chasing their hats made me smile,too. Love it.

  9. I like that - a chance meeting, because of hats. I actually met my love through a chance meeting. Alas no hats. But fun to remiss about just the same.

    I've two to offer this week, visit one or the other or...something else in my blogspot that suits your fancy - As the two I've posted are sort of a darker shade of grey.

    This post is cheerier:

  11. I really loved the way it started, described a male and female in the way the bear their hats. Must say it's a pity hats are rare. So much less chances to meet.
