IS THIS PINK HAIR CREAM WHICH I SEE BEFORE ME

Six years ago, whilst touring England, we visited Anne Hathaway’s cottage, In Stratford upon Avon, I saw William Shakespeare’s ghost. Boldly I Approached him, Mr. Shakespeare Sir, may I use part of your Macbeth’s, Soliloquy for my new poem, very alike to how to I interpreted part of Your Hamlet’s soliloquy for my poem I wrote, ‘To pink or not to pink’. He bowed and replied ‘of course my lady’. I had tried to phone Chrisi my hairdresser, but she was on leave, Oh dear, oh dear, a long sad sigh did I heave, I had to think Quick and in a blink. Out of all colors pink is my fav, so last night decided to surprise hubby for Tomorrow’s big day, ran a tub of hot water, and took my time, Soaking in pink bubbles that overflowed , my pink hair hidden under A pink towel, Barbie style, thus completing this stanza in mostly rhyme. Tomorrow is our anniversary, we are in the throes of celebration, the time, five Minutes to midnight, in a dramatic voice Hubby said ‘IS THIS PINK HAIR CREAM WHICH I SEE BEFORE ME’ and gently took my towel off my head. My pink hair tumbled down, he Took me in his arms, suddenly the celestial skies opened up their gates, and angels Played their harps as the moon’s crest swung us in its cusp. Oh, sweet dreams, thank You for showering us both with the love and passion we desired, and for the inspiration To color my hair pink again, which hubby loves. Happy Anniversary sweetheart hubby said, you can go any color you want, as long as you Always remember, you are my alien wife from maybe Venus or Mars, And my brightest of stars, In Heaven’s constellation. Please read my first pink poem "To Pink Or Not To Pink" so that you can follow my second pink poem.

The adaptation of Shakespeare's 'To be or not to be' has given a kick start to your poem. The color of your hair, be it pink or red will be appreciated by your husband as long as there is a deep bond between the two of you. I enjoyed your dying of hair in pink to give a real surprise to your husband on the day of your anniversary. Very humorous and entertaining, dear Jenny !

Brilliant storytelling! This is so beautiful; and i love shakespeare, he has always been an inspiration for me and i love how you wrot “ to pink or not to pink” how clever! I did have purple hair once with some pink highlights. I do love the ending, to have a husband that accepts one for who they are is truly a blessing and a pleasure to read about too; happy anniversary! Sending you light

Hi Ink Empress, i loved your comment and rarely go back to my poems to reread them, but today I did and delightfully appreciated it. I have always been an adventurer at heart, guess things will never change, my husband is my shining star. Thank-you for the light sent. Love and hugs, Jennifer.

Jennifer, loved the first pink hair poem and the second one too, you have a lovely husband and so do I, my hair is now purple and we both love it. I get lots of people stop me in the street to say they like my hair, hubby’s favourite reply is, “as long as I don’t wake up and find she’s done mine.” Keep in the pink… Beryl
