Hats hang on hooks,
headless hats,
harbouring hope
to be held on high
like fine feathers
that flit and flutter
for the fervour
of flattery.
Ornate orange
unobtrusively
oscillates
towards an
overdue ovation.
Chapeau!

I thought of the Ascot races scene in “My Fair Lady.” 🙂
Indeed! The anticipation!

Ha, inspiration is everywhere.
