Good Hair Days
Her ponytail we follow
Like the Christmas star
Maybe we're not wise men,
But then, maybe we are.
Monday
In a bower of golden bangs,
Her pretty face protected
Blond ends foaming on her shoulders
Not a flaw detected
Tuesday
Like the floss on top of corn
Silky, curly, fine
Rising from a thick black band
Above blue eyes that shine
Wednesday
Frizzy effervescent
Teased like a souffle
Like wine bubbles rising
In a song from yesterday
Thursday
All swirled up into a bun
Slender sticks run through
Looking like antennae
Glittering with jewels
Friday
Happy dolphin clips are swimming
In the ocean of her hair
Quite a seascape to behold
Lots of currents flowing there
Saturday
Silky, long and smooth
Like a wedding day
Swishing when she shakes her head
Like curtains at a play
Sunday
Like a waterfall of brown
Through golden culverts flowing
Sweeps me far away downstream
Without her ever knowing

Well done
I like the structure, I liked the rhyme scheme, and I loved the imagery. It's a poem that made me feel good!
Thanks
Like beautiful hair, your comments are so much appreciated.
I was thinking about your "In Me Blood" poem.
Its as good as the Ancient Mariner, or Sir Patrick Spens (but I'm no authority)
So much fun to read.
