<b><br /></b>
<b>It's National Poetry Month, and I'm excited to write a new poem inspired by <a href="http://sundaywhirl.wordpress.com/">Sunday Whirl</a>.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>An Ode to Fallen Hair</b><br />
<br />
<b>You have made <i>plans,</i></b><br />
<b>Split ends</b><br />
<b>Mourning, musing, mocking</b><br />
<b>My beauty</b><br />
<b>At the <i>root</i>.</b><br />
<b>Fuchsia comb <i>growls</i></b><br />
<b>Runs its hot teeth</b><br />
<b>Through my scalp.</b><br />
<b>No <i>heaven i</i>n this falling out.</b><br />
<b>A final farewell</b><br />
<b>To <i>heal</i> these tortuous acts,</b><br />
<b>The blow dryers breath,</b><br />
<b>And your foes:</b><br />
<b>Bleach, dye, and sun.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>It was the summer of 99</b><br />
<b>And I thought beauty </b><br />
<b>Were <i>rows</i> of thick braids</b><br />
<b>Tickling my back.</b><br />
<b>My scalp gleamed like a cornfield</b><br />
<b><i>Shivering</i>, sashaying </b><br />
<b>In one bountiful motion</b><br />
<b>When I shook my head.</b><br />
<b>But my heart <i>bursts</i></b><br />
<b>The night my hair tumbles,</b><br />
<b>Cascading black tufts</b><br />
<b>In a porcelain sink.</b><br />
<b>With prayer and <i>time</i>,</b><br />
<b>My mother's <i>mending </i>fingers</b><br />
<b>Tamed the flyaway's broken song.</b><br />

<br />
<b>It was summer love</b><br />
<b>A <span style="color: red;">second</span> glance</b><br />
<b>No chance to <span style="color: red;">leave</span> it</b><br />
<b>Between thanks and please</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">Friends</span>, they laughed</b><br />
<b>But none could <span style="color: red;">mistake</span></b><br />
<b>Their language passed </b><br />
<b>A <span style="color: red;">note</span> of intrigue</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">Together</span> they <span style="color: red;">rest</span></b><br />
<b>In the hot breeze</b><br />
<b>Children of heat</b><br />
<b>And humidity</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>She may <span style="color: red;">translate</span></b><br />
<b>The whispers </b><br />
<b>On his lips</b><br />
<b>He may <span style="color: red;">detect</span></b><br />
<b>The longing</b><br />
<b>In her eyes</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Surprise her</b><br />
<b>With a kiss</b><br />
<b>Perhaps a mistake</b><br />
<b>Though the <span style="color: red;">conscience</span></b><br />
<b>Grows <span style="color: red;">sick</span> with time</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>From my experience</b><br />
<b>The <span style="color: red;">lab</span> of love</b><br />
<b>Holds an elixir</b><br />
<b>For young hearts</b><br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>I am writing a pair of haiku for <a href="http://haiku-heights.blogspot.com/2013/07/haiku-heights-264-swing.html">Haiku Heights</a>. The theme is swing.</b><br />
<br />
<b>Delicate sing-song</b><br />
<b>Braids swing in summer's light free</b><br />
<b>Like a gentle poem</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Carefree girl</b><br />
<b>Hallelujah love</b><br />
