Hi Shari, very fun little senryu about your edgy hairstyle. I used to dye my hair red but can't afford it anymore lol. The poem's in good 5/7/5 form and the syllable count is spot on.

I dye my own. It's pricey at the salon. But I don't want to go gray. Thanks for taking time to read and review.

Very welcome. Take care.

What a smashing little poem! These short forms are always more interesting with a bit of clever wordplay. I can't say that I've ever been a great fan of spiked hair. Each to his or her own, I suppose!

It's better than a Mohawk cut IMO. It can look cute if the spikes are short. Thanks for your play on words--smashing. LOL
Comment from Lovinia
hi Shari
So where's the REAL photo?? lol I can see it in my mind and I bet it looks great. I was thinking 'bout it myself ... I'm sick of long hair .. my true personality is short and easy to manage. I wondered about a new look for the Spring.
GO the new look ..... not bad luck if the mirror cracks ... I think it has to go all the way and completely shatter. :))
A fabulous senryu with great wit and humour. I think you've shocked us all ... though I bet everyone is making an appointment with the hairdresser. Hugs - Lovi xoxoxo

I would have posted my own, but I'm not photogenic. I went for the exaggerated. In my forties, I did get a roosted hair cut when my dye job turned out orang. Poor ninth grade students are quite appalled. Teacher don't do things like that. LOL

You look pretty photogenic in your profile pic. :)) Though we do get more reluctant to show our image as we get older.:))
LOL ..... orange hair .... did those children know what a gem of a teacher they had?? I'm sure you 'did it' your way!! I hope so at least. LOL Hope the hives are diminishing .... I hope the dentist wasn't too brutal .... or is there a poem I've missed? lol
A great senryu ... I'm spewing to write one, yet nothing comes to mind ..... muse letting me down. lol xoxo
Comment from Sasha
This is excellent. Reminds me of when my 13 yo daughter got a Mohawk and had it died purple--all without my permission. I thought I was going to have a heart attack. Great work with this one and brought back a fun memory for me too.

LOL. Just be glad she didn't want a tattoo. Hair color can fade and Mohawk's eventually get flattened.

She waited until she was 18 to get the tattoo...I actually like it.
Comment from Rosalyne
Hi, Shari.
This is a fun poem. Nothing like trying something new even if the results are somewhat shocking. Staying the same can be so tiresome and boring. We all need to spice up life, even if it causes our mirror to crack. LOL
Bye
Rosalyne :)

Wonderfully written senryu that you wrote. I like your use of descriptive words, as they create the picture in my mind. I enjoyed reading your poem.

Comment from granny goes viral
That's funny. Never thought of it. What if your make over is so ugly...you crack the mirror? How funny is that? If this were true, there would be many teens out there with really bad luck. LOL.

Just being a teen is bad luck. LOL It's a dreadful experience--all that peer pressure.

Yes, I am glad I am well passed that. LOL
Comment from judiverse
Nothing like trying something new. It shows you're still in the game. The spiked hair in that picture is a bit extreme, however. If you shocked your mirror, there's nothing like cracking things up. The new look must have been too much for the mirror. Humorous, creative idea. judi

Comment from Eigle Rull
Ha! I think this one is cute. I take it that a mirror was broken. It suggests the dislike of the image seen it an old mirror. Ha! This was great. I love the picture too.
Always with respect,

Ha, ha, that is a riot. Good poem that in its for lines tell a complete humorous tale. Just make sure you don't walk under a ladder. Good stuff there, Spitfire.

Thanks, husky. Trust me, I stay far away from ladders. Afraid of heights, LOL, or maybe an unexpected crunch..
