Re: DISCUSSION: Ripples of Awareness
*Dollar* 250 GPs were sent to Dave Author Icon with this post.

Madame Scissorhand
A haircut from a child's perspective

Snippety-snip!
The locks fall off my head.
Tumbling down in a heap
and looking quite dead.
Still, with a frown,
she combs through my hair,
looking for errant strands
that might be hiding in there.

Spritz-spritz!
Water sprays everywhere.
It goes right on my face
though it was meant for my hair.
Yet, she doesn't say sorry.
Oh no, she does not.
Instead, she calls me unruly.
"Why's your hair all in knots?"

Fluffety-fluff!
I sneeze in dismay.
Did she just powder my neck?
And what's with the blade?
I try not to shudder,
but my hairs stand on end,
as she shaves my nape
with a tickly hand.

Swish-swoosh!
Off comes the cape.
I can finally breathe!
Finally escape.
But I glance at the mirror,
and that was my undoing.
What's this hairstyle I see?
T'was surely not of my choosing!


Not sure how much "awareness" this poem conjures! *Laugh*
