Haiku your hair

[christine1989]

The title says it; write a haiku that describes your hair. (inspired by the "describe your hair in 6 words" thread)

Here's mine:

Fluffy, frizzy blob
Looking better as it grows
Not far from waist now

[jaine]

What a nice idea! 5-7-5 syllables, right?

Hair is leaving me
Or trying to, anyway
Inch by inch by inch

[AnnaJamila]

Well, I love my hair.
But she's a cheeky bugger!
One day she'll behave . . .

[Miss Catrina]

Mousey, thin, fine hair
Torments me every morning
Shiny and soft, though.

[Sooze]

Not clever enough (or awake enough) to Haiki me hair yet, but Jaine - that made me giggle! Inspired..... :D

[Qadupae]

Thick and strong and soft
But all of this I would give
Just to be waist length

[Gnomentum]

Like trees in winter
Begone, foul dye damaged hem!
My ends branch and split

[MeganE]

Nice thread idea. :) Here's a reconstruction from what I can remember of the one I thought up while washing honey out of my hair (I forgot the first version);

Longer than it was.
Some days great, others not so much.
Still hoping for more.

Also, I wanted to share this link of possibly the best poetry battle ever imagined. :D

Anybody else ever seen Haiku wars like this?

[chenille]

Is two haikus OK? :D

My old stylist quit.
Two years now since my last trim,
Check it: almost waist!

There's one downside though
Must get a trim someday soon
Ten thousand split ends

[DoubleCrowned]

Skimpy, silky threads,
Which I've resolved to baby,
Most folks would just chop.

[SlightlySoprano]

Even though I cut
My hair, I do still love it
...
Refrigerator...

[lookingglass]

lifetimes of searching
definition eludes me
henna, moisture, curls

[Roseate]

Coarse, thick, wavy strands
lush, abundant and stubborn
advancing slowly

[Aredhel77]

A fine mist of frizz,
To this day my enemy
Stays undefeated

[pinkbunny]

Maintaining at knee
takes more patience than growing...
I just want longer!

[NouvelleNymphe2]

Growing fast unsure
What is pushing out anew?
Softer Strong at last

[long&blonde]

Wake, peer thru gold veil.
His sholders view I'm Loving?
Or My jungle hair?

[languagenut]

I went to page 1001 of The Mane Forum, on a whim, and found this thread. So I figured I'd add my haiku; some of you may recognize it, as it was my signature for several months. (And I know haikus traditionally don't rhyme, but I'll rhyme it if I want to!)

So much hair, hair, hair
In my face and ev'rywhere
Flying through the air.

(bonus weird doodle by me)

[theholydonut]

Waist length luscious hair
Forever eluding me
Time passes slowly.

[Kikyou]

In my mouth and in my eyes
Single strand in the pants
Hair in every part of life

[Katia_k]

finally red now,
defying me every day,
maybe it will grow...

[theholydonut]

Greasy strands of hair
Fly away from my braid
My scalp is itchy

[In reference to my current adjustment to WO. I really like this thread!]

[lunasea]

Did I just walk through
Scary silky spiderweb
No baby-fine hair

[mz_butterfly]

Hair does what she wants
Nothing can make her behave
She has her own mind

[Renora25]

Short, wispy, wavy
Cowlicks prevent taming her
Oh see how she grows

[twill]

Trying a new bun
Arms grow weary and heavy
This is not working
.___.




FIN

[languagenut]

Like an explorer,
It wants to see ev'rything...
Just stay bunned, would you?

[Crystawni]

Silver sparklies froth
Through swirls of antique copper
Like breaking whitecaps

[school of fish]

Dance class now finished...
Sweat-soaked tangles, roots to ends...
Comb-out's gonna suck...

[Shanawavy]

Really enjoying all the haiku!

Bleached ends need butters,
Baby oil delights wet lengths -
Roots love dilutions!

Growing past shoulder,
Bathroom looks like science lab -
Conjures stronger hair.

[akuamoonmaui]

Ah. Morning. Oh my.
Flat and fuzzy all at once.
Off to work. Bunned perfectly.


Haiku "rules" for the purists out there. ;)
The first line is 5 syllables.
The second line is 7 syllables.
The third line is 5 syllables like the first.

[irisa2005]

I have thinking of this post the whole week, so I'm gonna try it

Soft, Shiny, lovely hair
Enjoying the long journey
I miss my long hair

Is this ok? I'm not native english speaker so I'm not pretty sure about the syllables. :blushing:

[saff.cel]

Sleek under fingers
But flat under naked eye
No brush for two weeks

GREAT THREAD, subscribing.

[unheardletters]

Big, thick, whirly mess
Inconsistant curls here
Fluffy flyaways

[lithostoic]

It floats behind me
Collection of colored string
Glistening proudly

[hannabiss]

Soft flowing long mess
I cut you today sorry
You will grow again

[saff.cel]

Kneeling in closet
Oil slick beneath my fingers
Onto my gold ends

[peachyleshy]

Waiting, waiting still
For my princess length hair
Someday, dream come true

My in between hair
Kind of soft, but flies away
Straight, brown, it's okay

[rosey4exclaim]

Hip-length and brittle
The two-toned love of my life
Grows quickly (to knee?)

[Garnetgem]

Long and dark
Golden in sunlight
Cannot decide its colour

Grows fast
Gets the odd shedding incident
Stay put and grow great lengths(please) :)

[saff.cel]

Gather up and turn
Secured in in place with my combs
Tendrils on my neck

[Anje]

Fuzzy fuzzy fuzz
Sticking straight in all directions
Monotonous ease

(Yes, 8 months later, I'm still petting it all the time.)

[trinkets]

Short white strands mixed in
No, not going grey just yet
Cat hair, everywhere

[Eas693]

Why do you change?
I am trying everything!
I wish for the best.

[lunasea]

Grey sunlit halo
Old Leathery wrinkled face
Me now, you later

[cathair]

Shameful thin mess
Through stubbornness you were born
Trim now for future

[saff.cel]

Shameful thin mess
Through stubbornness you were born
Trim now for future

BEAUTIFUL <3

Looking clean but not
Powder cheat will see us through
Back home and relieved

[saff.cel]

Frustration with wash
After a second rinsing
Enlightenment gained

(I FINALLY figured out I wasn't rinsing my hair well enough during CO wash, I was thinking it was just a hard transition.)

[pamrlyn]

Wavy Wurly hair
Why do you tangle so much?
Keep calm and bun up

[iforgotmylogin]

2 dollar shampoo
3 dollar conditioner
The latter did naught

[saff.cel]

Into braids again
Coconut oil on the ends
Away to my bed

[LaLola73]

Love my wispy hair
How it floats in any breeze
I tell myself that.

[HeartofHaleth]

Ooh, this is fun!

Steadfast head-garden
A cardigan when needed
Dependably wild

[lunasea]

All the world's hairtoys
Can't make up for my lack of
Long thick curly mane

[lithostoic]

It grows down my back
Like a philodendron climbs
Tendrils reaching out

[JadedByEntropy]

Love my wispy hair
How it floats in any breeze
I tell myself that.

:laugh: me tooooo i couldn't stop laughing- i KNOW these feels


I have thinking of this post the whole week, so I'm gonna try it

Soft, Shiny, lovely hair
Enjoying the long journey
I miss my long hair

Is this ok? I'm not native english speaker so I'm not pretty sure about the syllables. :blushing:

Great job!

[Lynn of Many]

I love this thread!

Bleached, razored, fried
Goodbye healthy hip-length hair
I'll see you again.

[potsie]

o God, hear my prayer;
i desire the longest hair.
terminal ain't fair!

[LaLola73]

I thought of a new one:

What a tangled mess
you cause me to despair
Patience will cure you

[Redderly]

Hair will not listen
Cut it all off for right now
New lengths are ahead

[Ulessa]

Straight from ancient lore,
Reaching the floor, such a chore.
Yet, I still want more.

[YumiYume]

Essence of glory,
Beauty from within.
My hair, my sin

I actully like my haiku 😁! I hope i got the english correkt 😊

[iforgotmylogin]

Instant floor length hair
Is easy with this shortcut:
- Amputate your legs.

[Fia]

my secret, hidden
scarf covering all of it
only few will see

[YumiYume]

Instant floor length hair
Is easy with this shortcut:
- Amputate your legs.

Hahahahahahaha XD !!!! So funny XD haha :cheese:

[hannabiss]

In summer I buzzed
Waist is only four years away
See you at 30

[languagenut]

Morning wrestling match -
Hair too long? Nah, sticks too short!
Need more anyway. ;)

[HaMalka]

Trip on it daily
Lovely ankle length tresses
Often in a bun

[JadedByEntropy]

Straight from ancient lore,
Reaching the floor, such a chore.
Yet, I still want more.

I hope once I get there I'll be happy with it

[Neoma]

Sad I cut it off
Wish I hadn't done it now
I can't bun it now

[victorian girl]

Looking like a lion's mane -
Such an awkward length!
My prettiest ornament.

[Mega Moose]

Easily snapped strands,
Prone to static and tangles,
Better keep it up.

[-Fern]

Waiting, poised to spring,
Tightly wound bun unravels--
Locks engulf my face.

[Futurapunzel]

Never long enough
One day I will be happy
Learning to love it

[iforgotmylogin]

Winter washing sucks
Hair takes forever to dry
At least I'm not bald

[Kaoria]

Winter wind blowing:
My hair comes alive.
It will eat me one of these days.

[Neoma]

Baby hairs stick up
like quills growing from my head
Yikes! I look like a hedgehog.

[lithostoic]

I will wash later
It doesn't look too oily
Oh God, yes it does!

[cjk]

Hmm. Interesting.
My beard is long and coarse, but
My hair is silky

[RubberDucky]

Woke up this morning
Looked in the bedroom mirror
Terrified myself

[Kaoria]

How about I haiku everybody else’s hair, which is, in pretty much every instance I’ve seen, a thing of wonder.

Quiet evening, dreaming of you.
A glass of wine, the fire,
Your hair is poetry.

[Anastasia Hope]

my goals keep growing
ankle...or floor would be nice...
but my hair doesn't

[Anastasia Hope]

slept with hair untied
walk with eyes closed to mirror
open them and scream

[clandestine]

Cat hair and dust fiend
Tangles without meaning, ugh
Yet I still enjoy

[Stray_mind]

Straight strands or soft waves
What will it be today?
My hair wonders

[gustavonut]

I’ve tried braiding and bunning
It’s always either too tight or loose
Lately, my hair won’t cooperate

[LittleHealthy]

Fried ends are plenty,
With them I refuse to part,
In my quest to waist.

[RainbowBowser]

How long should I grow?
Ever longer it grows on
I won't stop just yet

[darren]

Mass of waves overwhelm
Now breaking free of its bonds
Another hair tie dies

[Katsura]

Hang in there my hair
Even though time is stressful
Autumn leaves are near

[iforgotmylogin]

Rumble somewhere near
Self defence force mobilised
Here comes Gehara

[Kaoria]

Rumble somewhere near
Self defence force mobilised
Here comes Gehara

😂 😂 😂

Gehara my friend
Life is hard
For 40 inch hair monsters.

[Claireabelle123]

Here's my best attempt, I tried to throw a rhyme in there:


Oh fine shiny hair
Why must I beg you to grow
Cut? I do not dare

Long hair is the game,
Problem is, no matter what,
My length stays the same

Here's my greater fear,
A stranger seeing my hair
"There's a split end, dear"

[Peppergirl]

Dreaming of curls
Patience is slow
Anticipation is fast

[vampyyri]

Such oily roots
Waves cascade down to my bum
It lives in a bun

[Strawonaberry]

Oh I love this thread! It's especially funny since I watched a youtube video where the guy asked the audience for haikus, and he reads them in a little silly melody. (MOVIES in HAIKUS (YIAY #193)*: https://youtu.be/hehuUBBaYgk this one btw) and now I read them all like that

Here's mine:
Finally can bun
I'll get a massive headache
At least I feel cute

[Konfitura]

Quirky horn on side
Medusa mess all the way
Feels like a blanket

😃

[iforgotmylogin]

I like this thread too
Not sure we're doing it right
But who gives a ****

[iforgotmylogin]

Summer's here again
No more wearing my hair out
Except while drying

[lushfanatic]

Hopeless with hairstyles
Forever doomed to messy braids
Will never improve

:cool:

[lushfanatic]

Just noticed my mistake. So much for being an English graduate :lol:

[Neoma]

Sopping wet, can't detangle
1A hair in knots
Quickly! Apply the Pantene!

[AutobotsAttack]

Tangles, everywhere
What am I supposed to do?
I’ve broken my comb

[Milkchocolate]

Drying time
The enemy of my soul
You appear at sunset
Only to be waiting for me
Still in the morning
And I’m still mourning

[floralgem]

Frizz on Frizz
Somehow gave up heat
Barely grows

[Spikey]

Tangles, everywhere
What am I supposed to do?
I’ve broken my comb

I like yours, Autobots. So simple but all too relatable.


soft but frizzy wisps
frame a dark, compacted bun
i wish was bigger


combing through my- OUCH!
fine, curly hair so slowly
it tangles again

[hannabiss]

I love this thread. I like checking on it now and again to read others.


Are you still growing?
If I dont watch will you grow?
Promise I wont look.


About my seeming lack of growth...or patients.

[Kat]

Oh, my tangly hair--
Must you be so difficult??
Life is hard enough!!

[Hexen]

Do not cut my hair,
Get close enough if you dare.
Now you are aware.

[Neoma]

Morning hair, a tangled mess
Too lazy to comb
I scare small children away!

[iforgotmylogin]

It's now two AM
Had a big night on the piss
Pillow, you'll be moist

[shaluwm_agape]

A weird shade of brown
Color always looks different
Wavy when it wants

[HaMalka]

Blow dryed recently
First time in a very long time
I needed some help

Hair why won't you dry
Its winter you can't be wet
I need to go out

[-Fern]

Wavy, straight, whatevs
Dances to its own tempo
When in doubt, bun up!

[GreySelkie]

Atop my head, an
unruly mass of seaweed.
Please behave yourself.

[clandestine]

New fringe, lovely cut;
Too much fuss and muss daily,
Growing again ugh.

[Kat]

Oh, lovely henna!
I wish my hair was redder,
Like a copper flame!

(But I'd need to bleach
For a lighter base color;
I'm scared of damage)


Soon I see my boy
I want my hair to be soft--
Oil, conditioner!


All right-- is "oil" one syllable or two? The way I pronounce it, it sounds like two (oy-il) but I'm not sure it's meant to be as I can also pronounce it in a less-drawn-out way that sounds like one!

[Bee_le_Fay]

So very curly
Why are you always tangled??
Help, my comb is stuck!

[ArienEllariel]

Flakey, fickle scalp
Ends crying out for moisture
Auburn locks tumbling

[iforgotmylogin]

Hair's getting heavy
Price I pay for thick long locks
Alliteration _______^___^

[sweetvalley00]

longer than before
turning off the heat styling
hope for healthy hair

THAT WAS FUN!

[spidergoat]

In lazy wrap bun
Hair keeps falling down on me
Fork is only hope


And it used to be such a reliable bun!

[giraff]

In a bun all year
Suddenly past my shoulders
Maybe braids next year

[iforgotmylogin]

Cut my bangs too short
Look like Yolandi Visser
But with Ninja's face

[Neoma]

Another Great Shed
Due to taking Prednisone
Scalp show-through abounds

[HaMalka]

Stepping on it hurts
Really must wear up full time
ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch

[blackgothicdoll]

A swarm of fairies
Frolicking through my hair strands
A knot for each end



:mad:

[cjk]

Twisting and turning,
But shockingly not tangled,
I am a "Curly Girl!"

[iforgotmylogin]

Still the best thread on LHC by 1.6 rural kilometres

Hair is drying slow
Wearing it down, fans on full
Still too damp to sleep

[The-Young-Maid]

Could you dry faster?!
Will I reach fingertip length?
It's snowing on mt. Fuji

[iforgotmylogin]

My hair's drying time
Was just an excuse for that
Haiku up above

I like air drying
I am just being precious
'cause I like Haiku

[Neoma]

A swarm of fairies
Frolicking through my hair strands
A knot for each end



:mad:

This. Is. Awesome.

[Bess3714]

My hair will be bunned
Because I feel lazy now
I don't want to brush

😁

[hannabiss]

I love reading these.

[Dung Beetle]

Some witty stuff here, guys! I like the funny ones.


Trying for beauty
Settle for evil witch locks
Wait I changed my mind

[lunasea]

The name of this one is Patience

years pass slowly by
a few hairs stretch painfully
to nether regions

[lithostoic]

Why are you so dry?
I really don't get it dude
Oh right it's winter

[Crystawni]

Webs of dead spiders
That tickle, tangle and stick
Have nothing on hair

[AutobotsAttack]

Your hair’s so pretty!
It’s so fluffy can I touch?
Do you wish to live?

[Neoma]

Based on a true story...


So long! What's the point
if you always wear it up?
Unless that's the point.

[Nineteenbirds]

A poem on Christmas morning

Yesterday this bun
Held all day. Today it falls.
Ha ha, says my hair.

*sigh*

Well, Merry Christmas (or whatever you celebrate), everyone.

[MeAndTheMaz]

Shed hairs are massing
Tumbleweed taking over
Kitty's hair, or mine?

[BraidedBunch]

Poofy, red, and soft
looking like a bright sunset
strands of sun and flame

:p
