I Grew a Hat

I grew a hat it's a part of me a little piece of inside when I'm out, in a head tilt, a shutter peak, hiding like mountains under snow, tree canopies in desperate corners of a ceramic world I wonder if clouds sigh when another enters the blue; it's why I prefer nights the daddy of all hats

this poem is sublime in many ways, Clive. I loved the imagery and the soft, almost surreal nature of the poem. The last two lines made it a winner in my book. Well done...enjoy your evening, Sara

It's a true story, I rarely leave the house without a hat, and I did prefer working nights, anyway thanks so much for your great comment Sara

I've just been reading up on Sylvia Plath and had read The Cut. So this all intermingles with that imagery now. I like this one - wonderfully surreal and full of ponderings. Right up my street
