Clever! I like this one...a bit of concrete poetry, where the moment in time snapshot is shown in vivid clarity. It is best not to criticize a woman's hair...or her weight...or her make-up, clothes, shoes...you know, we are fragile creatures. lol Highest marks for this witty little gem.

Thank you, Sarah. I am so pleased that you liked this poem. I never had a daughter whose dirty looks I had to deal with, but I know my mother had to deal with some of mine and I feel sorry for her.

How adorable this is! We've all been in social situation when we were unable to criticize a person....but inside we are laughing. I enjoyed this. Lydi**

[Joyce S. Greene]

Thanks, Lydi. So nice to see you back. You've been missed

[Pryde Foltz]

Great message and love the cartoon.

[Joyce S. Greene]

Thanks again, Pryde. I really appreciate your leaving such nice thoughts for me to come home to. Means a lot to me.

[Emerald Seas]

Love the quirky and fun tone. That picture is perfect with your poem, too!

[Joyce S. Greene]

Thank you so much for your wonderful comment! I will be stopping by your page this weekend. It's been a very busy week.

[Emerald Seas]

Thank you, I haven't been writing so no worries. I just try to get on here and read. I don't think th writing bug is gonna bite back for a long time... At least not poetry. I have other writing I'm doing, but I don't post the stories. Enjoy your weekend :)

I think my ruffled hair looks seriously out of order, but I can't care what others say. It's mine and mine alone. HAHAHA! This is cool, Joyce!

[Joyce S. Greene]

Thank you, Aubrai, for your very nice comment! I love to feel that someone laughed because of something I wrote.

Joyce, this was really funny. I look at kids nowadays and shake my head, but only briefly for then I think back to my wild youth, patched jeans not washed in weeks, hair down to our waist, headbands and belts made of anything we could find and flashing the peace sign to the old coots who just stood there shaking their heads at us.

[Joyce S. Greene]

Thanks, Jack, I woke to your beautiful poem this morning and come home to your very nice comment. Happiness like bookends to my day! I appreciate your kind words very much.

she looks like shes ready to kick some bodys butt

[Joyce S. Greene]

I wouldn't want to cross her, that's for sure! lol Thanks for stopping by to read my poem and comment.

[Kelly Scheppers]

How funny this is for me, Joyce! I've been deliberating for the past few days whether or not to get my hair cut! This is priceless, and so ingenious!

A mohawk, huh? ; )

[Joyce S. Greene]

Glad you got a chuckle from this, Kelly. What kids see when they look in the mirror is beyond me. Thanks for your very nice words - they mean a lot to me.

[Kelly Scheppers]

My pleasure, Joyce!

[Ravyne Hawke]

I love it, Joyce! With the artwork, it is a perfect balance. I have bad hair days all the time now.. lol, so I can relate.

[Joyce S. Greene]

Thanks, Lori. Every day that I haven't been to the hairdresser's is a bad day for me! I'm glad you liked this one. I think I like the funny ones the best of all. Hope you have a very nice evening.

[Ravyne Hawke]

I admire poets who write with humor.. I seem to lack that ability. My evening thus far is wonderful.. I hope yours is as well. =)

[Joyce S. Greene]

Too much to do in too little time, as usual, Lori. Hard to fit everything into the few hours I have between work and sleeping. Pleasant dreams.

[MsJewel]

This is adorable Joyce!! Absolutely adorable! Hugs, Julie

[Joyce S. Greene]

Thank you, Julie. I'm so glad you liked it. Can you imagine seeing your child like that? Makes me glad I only had a son and he never went goth. Thank goodness!
