Thoughts on an Unknown Lady


Good day Madam......
or perhaps Bonjour Madame,
for there is a certain look
a certain je ne sais quoi
about you.
You are not young
yet you pose on a chair,
legs crossed
in elegant modesty.
Perhaps you were once on display,
a cinema screen or catwalk perhaps......
in your younger years.
You dress yourself in black
confidently.
You know your jewellery will add
style,
Sophistication,
go well with black;
and so I must wonder......
Why the red hat?

(I have been unable to insert a jpg image from my desktop - please try to imagine a fairly elderly, rather elegant lady dressed in black wearing a large red hat )

Interesting, will post more later, but the ellipses disturb me more than help with flow

Thank you for reading, I do hope you come back
