What would I do without challenges. They inspire me when I don't have the energy to write on any of my long term projects. I guess I love to write fast, not work at it. oh dear....
Thank you again to Miss Rumphisus Effect and her great challenges. http://missrumphiuseffect.blogspot.com/2009/08/monday-poetry-stretch-clothes-make-man.htm
This week her challenge is to write about an article of clothing. Mine is a head topper, that wondrous character-maker that nearly everyone in my family has been infatuated with at some point in their life.
Ode to felt, and other oddities
l am suave, debonair
or pretty in pink,
toppled with feathers
or splattered with ink.
Foldable, totable
delicate lace
rainproof, hoofproof
motorcycle chase.
Covered in fruit,
ribbons, flowers or fur,
softened in leather
I make women purr when
they walk into church
on a Sunday morn, or when
drinking mint juleps
outside on the lawn.
I crown kings and emperors,
scare away crows,
I speak with authority-
mask people's woes.
