Black Hair Poems
Black hair has been the topic of much debate. It is sometimes quite hard to explain the uniqueness of the hair type. Curly and kinky hair is often very difficult to style since it takes much time to maintain. The poetry, I wrote below shines light on the hair type and its uniqueness.
I penned these poems in my spare time. Poetry enables me to conquer many fears. I like to write on a range of subject matters. It is the thing that keeps me busy. If you like my work, feel free to follow me here on hub-pages. Thanks again for taking the time to read my hub.
Unapologetically Coarse
My hair is unapologetic-ally coarse
It is a tremendous force
to be reckoned
with
When straighten it looks silky
and smooth
My hair is a go go song
wrapped up in one big
curly fro which is
hard to do
His Hair
His hair was kinky but curly
It woke and rose early to a
fragile mess
His hair looked depressed
But it had its good moments
where it shined like diamonds
in a ruff to impress
and show
the whole world
its ego
Black Hair
Black hair is a movement of its own
It is brave to take heat from a hot comb
The follicles are as fragile as life itself
Black hair cuts and struts
through change a thousand
times
It is a lion in her prime
Black hair
Self Portrait
Could I be surreal
It seems quite likely
I dance a little jazz
I speak poetry
My hands write vividly
A self portrait
no hairstyle can explain

Something unique here. Even the way you have written the poems don't follow the conventional approach I feel. Yes, I learned something about black hair today. Thanks for sharing.

Cute poems...it made me think about my iwn hair, though not black.
If is naturally curly with a mind of its own..guess it's kinda like my poetry.
Nice writing
