A Heady Feel

Wallace Dean LaBenne

Color has a heady feel. Passion has a blush.
Either one is "empyreal" for the wistful crush.

Insight has a heady light. Brilliance has a volt.
Either one is "watertight" as the thunderbolt.

Music has a heady scent. Fragrance has a tune.
Either one is "overspent" on the honeymoon.

Belief has a heady trust. Promise has a pledge.
Either one is "fairly just" by the featheredge.

Talent has a heady skill. Genius has a knack.
Either one is "spirit will" for the single track.

Fashion has a heady style. Panache has a flair.
Either one is "chicly wile" with the debonair.

Power has a heady clout. Muscle has a sway.
Either one is "losing-out" to the feet-of-clay.
