with madness in his methods
he walks the country roads
searching out bleached stones
to add to his collection
humming he sees the sheep
near an olive tree
he remembers Grandma’s needlework
and thinks all men are fools
like imaginary dominoes
fall lightly one on one
his melancholy laugh
echoes under the sun
he’s mad and we all know it
a hatter in his way
but let’s not look at him too closely
we might see he’s just like us

This week’s Sunday Whirligig is perfectly delightful .. not only for its interesting words, but for the lovely photograph on which it is composed … inspiring to say the least … many thanks to Magical Mystical Teacher for all her efforts to keep the Sunday Wordle alive!
