Jealousy Hat

Jealousy wears many hats I have come to know.
Some hats are bought, some are stolen and some are borrowed.

They all come in a variety of colors of different shapes and sizes,
being flaunted with emotional compromises.

Anger is a hat I have seen jealousy don on many occasions.
It’s a fire red derby with pointy spikes, a hellish sensation.

Sorrow is another hat jealousy will wear time to time. 
It is a black top hat with a blue velvet line. 
There is a purple veil that conceals the eyes,
a bewitching melancholic surprise.

Jealousy is unbecoming no matter what hat she chooses to wear. You have a very creative mind, Rebecca. John
