BONNET SONNET, by JACQUELINE EMBRY First Line: What lady knows a hat as well as I? Last Line: A tam o'shanter with a wicked feather. Subject(s): Hats | |||
What lady knows a hat as well as I? Let her come forward with a finer flair! I like them small, sophisticated, spry, Or gravely drooping with a trustful air; I like them lined with white and rather pure; Or dangerous, and dark as any crow; I like them reckless, mocking, never sure; I like a sailor -- strictly yes or no. A pirate turban's priceless for a talk; A rose-wreathed leghorn when one's feeling vain; I fancy tricornes for the morning walk, And a little leather London slouch for rain; Wide, wistful tulles for tea; for windy weather, A tam o'shanter with a wicked feather. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TENDER BUTTONS: COLORED HATS by GERTRUDE STEIN THE QUANGLE WANGLE'S HAT by EDWARD LEAR SHE LOOKS BEYOND TO-MORROW by RUTH FITCH BARTLETT DRAB BONNETS by BERNARD BARTON TO LADY CHARLOTTYE GORDON; DRESSED IN A TARTAN SCOTCH BONNET by JAMES BEATTIE COCK UP YOUR BEAVER by ROBERT BURNS MOTHER'S BONNET by NATHALIA CRANE UNREGENERATE by JACQUELINE EMBRY AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL by KATHARINE LEE BATES MY PRETTY ROSE TREE, FR.
