Carole Duet Poet Rhyme

Big Hat

The way you give things in love's place,
The way your soul beckons with its sad face,
Knocks me out and makes me reel,
Replacing your heart with things I can feel.

I know it's well meant
And to you money well spent,
Investing in me 
Instead of in we.

You can't help yourself.
I know where you're at,
In a place of comfort within your big hat.
It sits well upon your head and feels like success,
And only I know it's so much less.

Trapped in its snare,
It fits like a glove,
But it will never replace the loss of our love.

Chris Green December 27, 2016 at 6:14 AM Money can't buy everything, best intentions with a price tag always seem to end up at the return counter. I love how you did this, how you wove this message into such a brilliant poetic piece. Nicely done Carole. Carole Duet December 27, 2016 at 5:16 PM You are right, Chris, and thank you so much for your comments. Carole Duet
