Bald Focus
Woe, the sad reality of present nights
Washing a shiny bald head with only traces of down
A slick global arc that would make a women turn away
Happily these hairless days are short lived
But memory now fades, of those obnoxious hair grease jingles
Rattling in my brain out of tune

Today at d’Verse, Lisa asked us to write an Opposites Poem, where we take a poem and write the opposite of it! I chose to do one of my own poems, that I called Hair Daze. The original poem is shown below.

Hair Daze
Oh, the glorious memories of past days
Combing long flowing hair with swept back duck-tails
Smooth waves that would make a surfer gaze
Sadly the glory days leave only tales
But, I do remember the TV ad…
”Brylcreem… A little dab will do ya!”
