Each day with closed eyes what is this rustle I hear? A secret that grows longer each year, while pulling the brush through my ratty hair this withered mane on balding head with every stroke each clump snarls snaps and flys shedding broken strands, which whisper pass my shoulders to blanket the bathroom floor each morning winter-white. |

I, personally think you are very becoming with your G.I. cut although I have a feeling it isn't exactly a cut. Still, it becomes you, Beverly. ~*~ The poor wish to be rich, the rich wish to be happy, the single wish to be married, and the married wish to be dead. ~*~ |

I am really enjoying your long hair poetry! My hair does the same cycle. I grow it until it is too long and too heavy then cut it shortish, short or SHORT!!! and start all over again. sigh... Lori |

Worddancer. Years ago as a young mother we had my husband's brother and wife in for a game of cards. Somehow I got into a silly mood and for some reason mentioned I should cut my hair. I always cut or home permed my hair.My young husband did not like my silliness for some reason and said "I will cut your hair" and told me to go up to the bath room.I did, he followed and he did cut my hair but gave me a crew cut.That was in the early fifties and the short style was not yet in vogue. But I laughed. My in laws were shocked when they saw me but I did not give in.I wore it proud and with him I wore it uncovered. When with my friends I wore a nice hat.I went to a few of his family weddings and and even to a home party sans hat or scarf. Smiled through it all. Soon the pixie cut was in and as my hair was growing in I was right in style. LOL It is nothing serious today and I did not let it become serious then. Enjoy that nice cool look especially though out the summer. Jo |
