Demanding grooming
Like a striking rose in bloom
Wash it and prune it
There may be time for beauty
There may be time for a fall
I measure out my life with haiku. My camera films my soul. ~ Gemma Wiseman

Good morning Greyscale! Your hair poem is very good. Those of us with longer hair do seem to wash and prune more. That picture is a nice compliment to your poem. Thanks for stopping by. Have a nice day.
great poem. "Like a striking rose in bloom" - that's a wonderful line, I really like that. the image goes well with the poem.
Your rosebush metaphor works really well. It's still 1 April here in the U.K.
excellent take... the hair has always been a thing of beauty,, and your comparing it to the rose was brilliant....
