High Heel Blues

‘Eau De Cologne’ breaches his senses as he walks towards the lady, Her attire befitting of a bygone age; tastefully blending in with- Her elegance and sophistication. She keels over like a ship in – A stormy sea, yet within a moment her face straight laced passes him by Affords him the slightest of smiles, as he touches his cap to salute her. © Harry J Horsman 2018

Your words paint a picture Harry..I see her passing by..the smile, the touch..the salute...true attributes of a well crafted poem.

You create a very interesting scenario between the woman and the man who can't help but notice her, Harry. If men wore hats today, I wonder if they would still tip them when they saw ladies. A delightful poem! Sending winning wishes your way. Hugs, Carolyn

Not one of my favorites I must admit, ‘Eau De Cologne, I'm more of an exotic musk/ spice fan, still she gave him a smile. A great poem Harry, a mysterious element to it, could do a follow up to it? Best of luck in the contest....Maria :)
