hair like that...that's what they make sick days for.lol

[Joyce S. Greene]

Once again, Muse, thanks for leaving such a nice comment on my tanka. It has put a very large smile on my face. :-D

[Anand Sehgal]

fun read :D, you have created a lot of variety. Keep up :)

[Joyce S. Greene]

Thank you, Anand. Some write just one type of poetry but my mind doesn't seem to work that way. I appreciate your encouraging words very much. I hope you keep writing, too.

LOLOL... she must be about between thirteen and twenty... ? lol

[Joyce S. Greene]

She is imaginary - she remnds me of me when I was much, much younger, daring my mother to say anything about the length of my mini-skirt. (Most likely you're right - between 13 and 20.) lol

[shallimarRose]

mine was go go boots and a P-coat that was longer then the mini skirt.. The good old days.. ha.. xo

[Joyce S. Greene]

I'll never forget that song "These Boots were made for Walking" Have to think about bed now, my alarm goes off at 5 whether I'm ready or not. Have a good night.

[shallimarRose]

forget it? I still sing it on Karaoke night.. lol Good Night.. xo

[Poetic Beauty]

lol this is cute and well I kinda think mohawks rock lol

[Joyce S. Greene]

It's nice to hear from someone who appreciates the young person's point of view. Thanks so much for reading my poem and suggesting that maybe that a mohawk is not necessarily a laughing matter.

[Poetic Beauty]

I have long hair but I do think they are cool on other people. I would however look hideous with one. I did let my son have one for awhile. I had to use a straightener on his hair every morning and gel lol Not an easy do to pull off or a quick one.

[Joyce S. Greene]

Must have been a job early every morning. You are a good Mom. He'll remember that you cared when he gets quite a bit older.

[Poetic Beauty]

He now has a cross between Lenny Kravitz and Jimmi Hendrix hair going on. I let him have it how he wants as long as the school doesn't complain. I have had my own styles over the years but I love the hats like old mob gangsters wore. I have one. I wear it every now and then.

[Joyce S. Greene]

Sounds like you and your son are style setters! I have o go to bed very soon the alarm wil go off at 5 whether I'm rested or not! Have a good night.

[Poetic Beauty]

I love this little thought and poem. Get the rest you need. I rise at 6 so I know the feeling.

[Sami Khalil]

Dare not to offend someone for they think they look great in their own mind especially if they are teenagers...Splendid...:)

[Joyce S. Greene]

Especially if you're her mother, Sami! Thanks for your very nice review. I really appreciate your kind words.

[Sami Khalil]

Yep. You are welcome...:)

[wordwarrior]

Haha love this Joyce! Maybe she's having a bad hair day and fighting it by saying it rocks haha.
Brought a smile to my face.

[Joyce S. Greene]

Thank you for your very kind words. They are much appreciated and make me smile.

[Cassie]

she thinks her mohawk rocks and from the pic it is very bad hair...

[Joyce S. Greene]

I'm with you, Cassie, but I wouldn't want to be the one to enlighten her. What mothers have to put up with from their kids!! Thanks for leaving your thoughts behind on this one. I appreciate it very much.

[Keith]

This is a wonderful spur of the moment thing. The graphic is great.

[Joyce S. Greene]

Thanks, Keith. I really appreciate your commenting on two of my poems. I feel honored. I'll comment on your work soon - I have to go to bed now - 5 AM comes way too early!

[Dye]

Very cute poem. So true too, I still go by the "if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all."

[Joyce S. Greene]

Especially when you are the mother and the mohawk-haired one is the daughter! Thanks for your nice words. I appreciate it very much.

[Dye]

That's even funnier. I find I hold my tongue a lot with my older kids. Now, if they could learn the same, it would be great.

[Baby Ricochet]

HA! That's great! Loved it

[Joyce S. Greene]

Thanks, glad you liked it. I've got more funny ones on tap, but haven't posted them yet.
