Describing oneself can be a bit trying. However, depicting a particular feature can be so much more fun than taking a personality apart. Although the eyes are the windows to one’s soul, our hair can represent the person we are or wish we could be.

These brown strands hold much power
entrancing males who come near me.
The scent from the bath
lingers throughout. A personality
that alters from day to day,
creates playful curls
or uncertain waves whose sway
send men’s heads in a whirl.
Straight and serious creates knots,
warning guys that brave fingers
may get tangled in my brown locks.
Its character may stay, but colors won’t linger.
One day it will all turn gray
silver strands will highlight my once brown
cascade that flowed in a beautiful array
of chocolate, gold and crimson highlights down
my back. A legacy only, that won’t grow back.
