Hand Me Down to die

[ChristopherSea]

final
I’m dead-head to head
with bronzing sunflowers,
wearing my Grandpa’s
tattered Fedora.

I don't have anything else to add that hasn't been covered. Just one issue, though maybe it's just me. When I read "I'm dead-head to head", I actually read "dead-head" as joined words. Is this intentional? Maybe make the dash longer, or put a space, like: "dead — head".

I'm glad you decided to give it some touch ups, the meter is good now in the final .

Thank you kindly for stopping by to read my piece and commenting! I see your point. It may read like the sufferer was into the 'Grateful Dead' ha ha, but deadhead (verb) is a gardening term referring to cutting back spent flowers to stimulate new growth. I'll relook at it though in the light of your read, ie 'I am dead, head to head' which may work as well.

Good meter is fine, but it doesn't matter to me if that was all that folks saw herein. My question to the reader is, did it move you in any way?
