My hair-
It’s growing
VERY long!
Screaming for-
scissors
is its song!
Snip…snip…snip and, its gone!
Frizzy is
NOW
My middle name!
Temperatures rising
Higher!
HELP!
My hair is not
the same!
Snip…snip…snip and, its gone!
A little cut-
a little trim!
A new adventure to
begin!
Hair today shall be-
Gone tomorrow!
Snip…snip…snip and, its gone!

Haha! I really enjoyed reading this.
Thanks Prachi! It was just fun to write and very appropriate given COVID.
Ingrid, this was fun to read I can imagine you grinning as you wrote “snip…snip…snip and, it’s gone!”
Great humor and great truth!
Thanks Kathleen! I believe that this is the Bop poem and it was a new form for me. It had so many rules in terms of words per stanza and then the repetition. So, I chose a very light subject for a very structure form 🙂 And, it was FUN 🙂
Yes! I have to cut mine every six months! Wait wait wait.. and it’s back! Love this one.
