Woman With Flowered Hat

The party was on in full swing.

Many guests had been invited.

Why did he have the empty feeling?

He was quiet though much was unsaid.

 

There was decoration, food and fun.

Free drinks flowed; the spirits were high!

Many indulged in animated discussion!

All fake smiles & superficiality made him sigh.

 

Woman With Flowered Hat- Jean Dupas

Then, he saw an angel waltz in gracefully-

The woman with flowered hat looked bright!

Ethereal beauty & fragrance captivated him fully!

The party seemed right with love at first sight!

 

Their meeting was a silver lining they got to know-

The light and love would forever glow.

  1. You made me smile; I have had that same disconnected feeling at a party, and actually found my husband at one!

  2. I enjoyed your use of "indulged." It felt like rhyme with "flowed".

  8. Nice story! Reminds me of a time my late husband and I saw a frail-looking old lady in the street, wearing a huge. beautiful flowered hat. We complimented her on it and she was so pleased. She had made it herself!

  9. My kind of story poem. If you don't get "out there" you could miss that perfect opportunity.

  12. You never can tell. I wasn't looking for Mrs. Jim when she showed up at a singles dinner, my roommates girl friend had convinced Mrs. Jim to stay as I might come. There's a nice long story, 51 years to follow.

  15. Those things just happens... every now and then, but mostly we are stuck, tethered by norms.
