Hahaha. This is kind of bitter sweet. It brought Joan Rivers to mind for me right away. Same kind of quick self deprecating wit. Too funny. mikey

Yep, should have waited for a senryu yourself contest. :-) Thanks for the read and review, mikey.

It may seem superstitious, but I've seen things happening in a seven years cycle. The red hair spiked is not my idea of beauty, but then to each his, or her own version is what really exists. A really eye-grabber! Les

I have to use gel to spike it or I look normal again. According to numerologists it's a nine year cycle. Mine ended on my Bday in June. So I starting my next cycle which means I got rid of the old and am planting seeds for the next nine years. I wrote an essay on finding your life cycle about a year ago.

Sounds interesting. Once tried looking into that, but got a little confused so that ended it.

HA hA. GOOD FOR YOU. Love the double entendre in the first line. A great senryu accompanied by a great little piece of art work. You are a red head, right?

I am thanks to Nice n' Easy. I now get many short spikes but have to use gel. Hubby loves it and so do I.

Ha ha, so bad it broke the mirror, huh? Well, that's precisely the reason I don't keep them in my house. Every time I just happen to look into one, CRACK! Good grief, i can't begin to count up all of the bad luck that's comin' my way!

Great stuff, Spit, very funny. And, oh, what a picture...YOWZA!

That's what happens when you buy mirrors at a thrift shop. LOL

Hi Shari: well this is very interesting and visually exciting I must say. I've never been terribly excited by spiked hair but once I saw a Rhino close enough to care, I felt pretty safe thereafter. I'd rather have spiked blood pressure which does indeed happen often! Good work and six hugs! Vance

High blood pressure! That's not good. Visually exiting. Interesting choice of words. Hope that rhino was in a zoo. :-)Thanks for the six hugs.
Six back at ya, handsome.

Ha! Ha! Cracked both of you up.
I am sure Red hair and spiked would
cause someone to sit up and take
notice. Good one! 8-)

Thanks, BG. Once in my forties, my dye job turned orange and my innovative gay hairdresser fashioned into a rooster look. My ninth graders had no sense of humor. LOL

Funny!

I'm laughing again reading another one of your gems. Isn't it funny how cool we believed we looked back in the day? Well why not, everyone dressed and wore their hair the same style and tried to out do each other. I hope my pictures from today won't make me look for a rock to hide under 20 years from now. As always Spitfire, great compacted work.

Remember those awful bouffant hairstyles and the teasing with a comb to make us look fashionable? Thank goodness, the natural look finally came back.

Dear Shari, Once again you made me laugh out loud. You are more bold than I am my dear, I have never spiked my hair. I would have 14 years of bad luck. I truly love your wit. Great job, Shirley

Thanks you so much for the exceptional rating. Kiss, kiss to you.
Try spiking it with shampoo, then the mirror won't take you seriously. :-)

A vision personified that you could carry off. I never could. (so funny to realize I was so Sandy in High School, ok maybe also college). Yea, maybe now at 70.
But I thought wild and enjoy others adventures a lot. I complained to my 42 yr old daughter the other day...She said I needed more cowbells. (took me three days to find the SNL episode with Christopher Walkin. You are so with it. Smiles

I was Sandy in high school too. Took me until forty and a teen daughter to finally get attitude. :-) Cowbells? haven't heard of that one.

Hello Spitfire, Very good, very witty. Perhaps the mirror was just trying to save you from yourself - lol - jk ... this is make believe. I especially liked:

glimpses my new spiked red hair
(I think, at first, the mirror glimpsed,
and then it winced ... wink, wink)

A fun poem. Thanks for sharing and for have such a good sense of humor. LateBloomer
