ode to the top hat
a leaf turns in the wind
it blows thru
it earns its friends
it knows you
beneath a big sky
Heaven has painted
it & the big guy
are also acquainted
high it rides
to see its trail
thru both sides
of the veil
hushes its lips
as on it rolls
luscious are the trips
of an honest soul
Enjoy your Friday. Do not remain aloof from the goof.
The title of the post and poem are kind of a word play on Abraham Lincoln. I was originally going to go with “honest bigfoot – needs no axe” but then I thought that “ode to the top hat” sounds a lot like “stovetop hat.” So “hats off” to Honest Abe & bigfoot two legendary tall woodsmen.
NOTE: The blog has a menu with more video content. On a computer it is at the top of the screen. On a tablet or mobile device it is the 3 stacked slashes to the right of the word ASTRA. Enjoy the blog.
