My Hair


So check this out, I have sooo much hair it covers me - so much for a view from the back for auditions.  They cannot even see what I look like under that curtain of hair!  I must say, I really do love my hair even though I may complain - as much work as it is to care for all this hair, I’d have to be nuts to keep it while hating it.  So I found this poem about hair by Sylvia Chindi that reminded of why I do put up with my hair.  By the way, you can look at the regular sized picture in my casual gallery, I finished revamping my galleries so if you haven’t looked lately, I have new images, check them out.

curtain of hair
 
  I love my hair
Long, golden plaited and brown, Enough to move heads around in town, People just want to come near
And stare! Stare at me! Who is that alien from elsewhere?

My hair is beautifully plaited in strands. This kind of hair fashion is high in demand
So many different styles to experiment with and expand
Today a woman needs to look good, do you understand?

I talk to my hair with oils. I say today I need you to curl
And when I style you, Stay in place, do not spoil!
I wash my hair twice a day
Maybe when I am old, it would go grey, But for now the beauty is here to stay
I hope so, I definitely pray!

Beware all, take care. I love my hair, I love my hair
Don’t touch! But you can stare, You can stare at how I wear
My beautiful hair! Try and out-do me if you dare!
