The Fieldsman in the Floppy White Hat

His hat is a halo

that is lifted by the breeze,

but before it flies away

he snatches it

with both hands full stretch,

as if taking a screamer

at first slip.

  1. I enjoyed this very much, DB. Thirty-two words that encapsulate a scene with so much movement, culture and everyday life in it.

    How about you try the same approach to Rafa’s service action? I’ll give you 250 words to try to fit it all in.

  2. Well played,DB
