Floppy Crown

I thought since I have this up and going perhaps I could show some of my other kinds of writing- I hope you enjoy;

Floppy Crown by Dale Stam

Flimsy, floppy, flannel flows
Round the top, and down it goes
The tattered cloth anointed proud head
Curving round to caress his thoughts
Benign, lay-about protector of the flock
Unrelenting force, dozing away the day

In the heat, it remained strong
In the cold, it remained on
When in physical plight, it made alright
Always ready to remain steady

When the patient’s heart choked
It did nothing, but rest away
Uncaring in the moment of bodily panic
Lazy defender of all thrown
Down fell the man, and his languid crown
Where it unceremoniously spread on the ground

Now gone is its patient
It sat watching, and thinking
Had it done wrong, to sit and sleep upon?
It whispered to the man, his mantle
Never worry, don’t despair, all is fair
