poet hatI have a new hat.

This is important because:

1) I look totally cute in it and…

2) This has been confirmed by total strangers commenting on my cuteness and because…

3) I found out after getting back to the hotel this past weekend that my hat is apparently a “poet style” hat. I swear to you that I had no idea when I purchased it. I was just going off of the fact that out of the million I tried on, this was the only one that I didn’t think I looked like a total jackass in when I saw my reflection. That, and The Husband didn’t point and laugh when I asked him what he thought about it. (Yeah, I know. He’s sweet like that.)

I. Have. a. Poet. Hat.

This amuses me beyond words and I may actually start wearing it when writing poetry. And you can bet your ass I’ll be online later searching for a Smart Ass Mama with a Hefty Side of Snark hat. You know, ‘cuz then I’ll be able to literally switch hats when necessary.

I’ve written a children’s book of poems about the Rainbow. I call it Roy G. Biv, after that sweet little acronym I learned in elementary school to help me remember the order of the colors. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.  Here is one of my favorites.

Day and Night

by

Pauline M. Campos


The difference between
Day and Night
Is only a shade of
Blue

Sky greets the
Day
Says hello to the
Sun
And accepts a hug from the
Clouds

Sky says
Goodnight
When the moon
Says hello
And the stars
Twinkle till light

Raindrops fall as wet

wind dances across my cheeks

Flowers stand tall beneath the

sunshine before

stars

moon and night

clouds lay a blanket across my world

Seasons of my life pass quickly like

sand between my fingers
