Aahh...interesting. I love your imagery, especially "elastic prison".

I enjoyed this poem, since I'm going to donate eight inches of my hair very soon.

Keep writing!

i like it!

i have a thing about hair. i love hair. my own isn't particularly fabulous, but i do love hair.

great job.

btw, is the title supposed to be the first line of the poem? "hair is not dead/long thick red"? it rhymes quite nicely, even if you didn't mean to do it.

Very nice! Short and sweet. The ending is very powerful and really wraps it up well.
