A bit short…but then, a haiku is supposed to be short.

It’s an interesting idea, a study in contradition, to make your hair “yours” again by cutting it off.

Though given that I like girls with long hair, I can’t say I approve of the subject matter. :)

Heh, thanks! ;)

donate it to charity, wigs for cancer patients. someone out there is wearing my hair.

I did the same thing, also donated my hair. Nice not carrying the weight of it around anymore.

To put things in perspective, Elsha, I should’ve said earlier that this was done over 10 years ago. Le boyf and I are still happily together! This haiku refers to an ex-ex-ex-boyfriend, and for the record, they did donate my hair. :-)

good for you! and I never doubted your current relationship status. plus, i didn’t think you had cut your hair..

Wonderful haiku.

I could see how cutting it off can be a liberating transition, but I’m not sure I fully understand the whole cutting it off to spite an ex…but then again, as a guy, hair has never been my thing. I’ve always found what’s going on inside the head more fascinating and stimulating that what was on top of it.

yeah i kind of like girls with shorter hair. they are ready faster, the look pretty quicker. and the dont get knots after a long bout of…………..sleeping, what did you think i was gonna say?

Such a gorgeous haiku.
I have really long hair, probably stops at the middle of my back or so? So sometimes I wish that I could just will myself to cut it off, but of course, I never can.

This IS a lovely piece though.

Lovely example of a haiku.. Even has a bit of a twist to it.

This is great, for some reason this reminds me of a story or article I’ve read before.
Beautiful haiku, they’ve always been my favorite form of poetry, especially when they’re don this well.

Thanks, guys! :)

Wear your hair however you dare, it’s yours to keep or yours to share. Let no-one say it’s too long or too fair, it’s yours alone, so never despair.

On-the-fly poetry. KA-POW. I enjoyed yours so I thought I’d respond with some of my own.

Hair could be seen as
A phoenix, cut to give to
The needy, bless you!

Poetry comments are fun.

Anyway, I like it the haiku. Great work!

I love poetry comments, yay!
Yours was quite lovely as well, thanks. :)
