no cornrows with beads
for her & no threaded hair
but the long coiled twists
those twists are rasta
fingercombed to sleek ripples–
war over, we twist

Susan Daniels Poetry 
War over, we twist inspired line
thanks–taking pictures to prove I can MAKE her sit still…
Very cool poem and very cool hair… 🙂
Hee, hee. Thank you. I tried to take a pic but she wouldn’t let me…
This reminds me of my granddaughters when they were little ones – around 7. Always the question to twist or braid. You haiku brought them back to me. Thank you.
🙂 Thanks, Elle. She is picky as anything, but what fun when we agree what I am going to do to her head for the weekend…
Sounds like a boatload of fun. So vivid in the imagining…
Thanks, Nelle. While I was writing this, Zoe was accusing me of writing something about her because I was smiling 😉
Trust her intuition…:-)
I definitely do–she gets it from her mommy…now THAT’S genetic 😉
Hair wars – hair wavy like twisting DNA!
LOL, yes! I told her I either needed to twist it or trim it. Talk about threats…
A unique take on the prompt … wonderfully done Susan 🙂
Thanks, GS! Happened to be thinking of the prompt while wrestling with my daughter, and then her hair!
Lovely ‘twist’ on the prompt!! How I miss those days of fixing my girls hair!!
Thanks, Barbara–turning into more of a battle daily–who knows how much longer she will let me do it…
No battles and twists for me. It is close croping all the way. 🙂 A nice one, Susan
I keep threatening her with that as an option!
Well, I have no option here because they are all boys, three terrible tykes. 🙂
triply blessed. They will not argue with you about their hair! Having one of each, I am shocked by the ease of young male maintenance.
Not argue? Huh! Easy maintenance yes, but please, sometimes, I am scared to go home after work. They know more than me.
LOL! Of course. When I was 15 my mother knew nothing. I was amazed at how wise she got by the time I was 25 though…
