Haiku for hats... or poems accepted.

Go for it then, Moe
We'll take all the sympathy
(or hats) we can get.

Impressive, my friend
It took me a moment to
see that was haiku

If anyone with a big head wants a decent Monticristi, call Mike at Northwest hats. I bought a body off of etsy that I thought was smaller than it turned out to be. It could easily fit a 7 7/8ths head. Also it has lots of brim and crown that would make a great Plantation style Panama. There was no way it would work for me so I gave it to Mike.

I'm not a rich man in coin
but otherwise, I'm a formillionaire.

In Haiku, or not,
your formillion is great;
makes an impression!

Super cool, Alan!
But, why was I thinking about this thread randomly, just last night?! No life?

Not at all. You dream in Japanese. 8^)

No wonder I can never understand them!

Which hat should I wear
The weather report should help
Who cares it's this one!

for those of big head
most hats just fit too tightly
stock up on aspirin

large headed hat man
no vintage for you tonight
cry alone in shame

Large headed hat man
rejoice the fruits of patience
For tonight we rise.

Immense cranium
Naked to the elements
Past shows no remorse

Why they call you meat?
Why do they call you Blossom?
Big man reveal all.

Hats
by Erica Jong

A world of hats
& homicides––
old New York––
children playing hopscotch,
painters clinging
like acrobats
to bridges being built––
murder photos
where even the dead
wear hats––
everyone in hats!

Peaked caps on workers,
bowlers on bankers,
top hats on plutocrats––
hats everywhere
denoting class––
hats, hats, hats!

Which we have tossed
like sumptuary laws
& yet kept
somewhere secret.

You can tell a king
without his purple,
ermine or crown.

The world of hats
lives on
in old photographs
& in our hearts.
We still style & file
each other
by cloak, by watch, by ring.
Hatted heads we wear
above our
nakedness.

You click a camera, develop the film, place picture in an envelope, address it, place postage stamp on envelope and mail it.


The Stratoliner looks a treat
perched upon my head.
Love it! 'Nuff said.
(I know that the hat's not a Strat, but Haiku ain't easy.)

The search for a hat
To find a new companion
It must be perfect
