Figure 8, 1952 by Franz Kline

Once they were curls
Springy with bounce
A testimony to the ad
Glossy
Fast snips silver steel
No care nor grace
What took years to grow
Gone
Black mane now lies
On cold white marble
To be casually swept away
Discarded

DeleteThe pride of the lady, now shattered. It's a sacrifice considering the time taken to grow. Big business for wig makers. Great write, Bee!

DeleteHaha - I saw hair too, curls! Good write!

ReplyDeleteAnna :o]
Thank you Anna - glad you can now.
DeleteOh, this is very unique! Claws of curls lying snipped on the salon floor. Your phrasing is so convincing and fresh. I love how you styled this. Fantastic work, Bee'. Thank you for sharing. =D
ReplyDeleteLinda, thank you. I like your comment and possibly unintentional play on words as in 'styled this'?
ReplyDeleteNow if I could just get rid of that dratted ''s', I'd be fine!
ReplyDeleteI never would have thought of hair. I had a friend who grew her hair right down to below her knees... wow.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely capture of the prompt and, thanks for visiting me :)
Wasn't the Olympic ceremony wonderful and the torch lighting was just amazing. Great to see you have a pic of it :)
Thank you.
ReplyDeleteYes the ceremony was wonderful and I was blown away by the torch lighting. We dared to be different!
Who would have thought of this as hair ~ Nice one and I like your header picture ~
