Hat
                   Big, small
                  Fit to wear.
            Equestrian helmet
                 Ride to wear
                  'orse gaits
                    Capped...

Much Too Close - TB


The frog leaped high!
Closed each eye tight
when I crouched down.

My face too near...
without fear...he
headgear became!

I shall remain here
To you remain near...

So, have no fear
Of one who's dear;
By me crowned Deer;
Here's your head gear...

But I need beer,
Its thirst a sear:
To me quite clear
I can't "wait" bear...

Yes, wish to hear 
"Here's my cold beer"
To at thirst jeer:
Push to the rear....

I've worn many types of headgear
since I was a little kid.
Mostly Golf and Baseball caps,
no matter what I did,
I guess I always wore a "Lid"!

But of all the "Lids" I ever wore, 
my favorite - I'll exclaim,
was the Helmet I wore in Viet Nam, 
no matter how annoying it became.
It was my favorite just the same....

Ear muffs perch on little heads
In poof or sparkly style,
While furry pom poms bounce on hats
Engendering a smile.

Hoods with fuzzy fake-fur trim
Are pulled ‘round reddened faces
As well as ski or baseball caps,
Which stay in men’s good graces.

Winter headgear keeps us warm
But fashion counts, as well,
Until we step inside to find
Our hairstyles look like hell!...

arched mirror on the cold stone,
blackglorious dress,
Xoloitzcuintlis at heel.

quiet reflection,
forfeiting Frida’s apparition
beneath her underclothes.

her fate was switched
from doctor to artist
painfully so

she’s pretty with eyes closed,
heavy-petaled headgear.

Diego paints ash on canvas,
surrealist unibrow lifts —
Frida’s suffering relinquished.

If receiving is believing
            Then
I gladly give my life to you
          In that
The joy and the dream's
          That
Makes' it clear
           Will appear
In everything that I do
Concerning the knowledge
             From above
To adorn the headgear
            Of affliction
And wheel with the
     Scepter of Light
With a level of forgiveness
           Well beyond compare
Well beyond sight
At hence

                 GF...

She dallied by the garden gate
and wondered if she should
continue on her journey or
return to get her hood.

The excursion to grandma's house
without proper protection
could cause a potpourri of woes,
a cold or an infection. 

Little did she know how much
her hood kept her defended, 
without it she was at a loss,
her life could well be ended.

The big bad wolf came out in force
and caused a chain reaction,
But with the headgear now intact
she dodged the interaction!...
