Hairdressers gushed
“Let me, let me”
“Your hair is gorgeous”
“Let me style you today”
She was overwhelmed
Not used to the attention.
This was new and
felt amazing,
The special shampoo,
and conditioner,
the brushing,the
shaping, the piling.
Her hair felt
like a crown.
Her crown
Who would have thought?

Inspiration from
18. Cut your own bangs
“write a poem about a hair
style you’ve had.”
I wasn’t here
when you packed up
everything
important to you
Your badminton racket
Your blinged-out bike
Your stamp collection
Some favourite family photos
Not to mention
Your clothes
All those tennis shoes,
sneakers
whatever they are
The cable sweater I knitted for
your birthday last year
So you wouldn’t be cold
in Alaska
You didn’t say
“I’m leaving”
You didn’t leave
a note
You didn’t say where
But here you are
gone
Ellecee
Inspiration from
14. I wasn’t even there
Write a poem about something
you missed, something you
weren’t there for, something that
happened without you. /
