The Childcatcher’s Hat (#NaPoWriMo Day 15)

#NaPoWriMo, Other Poetry Add comments

Hello!

The prompt was to write about a villain facing a tough situation that reveals they are human; while still being evil.

 

A gust of wind

Took the favourite hat

O’er the lollipop stand.

 

Aghast, he grabbed

But seized only air

(His skills seemed to forsake him)

 

The hat had been

A much prized thing

A reward at one hundred.

 

The Bomburst favour

Had put a spring in his step

And a much crueller swish in his cane.

 

It seemed to wave as it flew

Far too eager

To let him stand bereft.
