saw a woman with orange hair this morning
bright neon orange
dancing down the sidewalk
brown arms reaching for the sky
fingers snapping out a beat
face upturned grinning at the sun
just down the street another woman
frowning into sun's glare
blonde hair all business
blonde hair all business
arms locked across chest
foot tapping with impatience
waiting to cross
it's all relative
but
I'm smiling at the orange hair too. Life's creativity and flair!
ReplyDeleteI am smiling at imagining the orange hair. :-)
ReplyDeletehurray for Ms. Orange Hair!
ReplyDeleteBarb, thanks for your comment on my blog. It's been a tough day; first anniv of my mom's passing. I love your stones and poems. Jodi
ReplyDeletewhat a contrast in hair colors. this is good.
ReplyDeleteIt's way too easy to let a good day be wasted churning over small annoyances. Thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I love the orange hair too. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's all attitude, isn't it? Love the poppy photo, Barb. Hope you are having a marvelous weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteLove it, and I agree with you.
ReplyDeleteI strive for the orange hair attitude (but maybe not the color).
ReplyDeleteOrange hair? I'll give it some thought but I'm leaning towards purple! Love Di ♥
ReplyDeleteSo good to flaunt convention and just be.
ReplyDeleteI had deep purple hair for a few years, lol.
ReplyDeleteI do like your contrast between the two, and the way you finish this.
