I change my avatar Like I change my hair When the mood strikes Locks beware I showed you once Completely bare An older photo Let's be fair And now the latest Most up to date A perfect flame job But as were fate The very next day... I shaved it off And dyed it blue (All true) 01/25/19 Who Is The Star In Your Avatar Poetry Contest By Mark Massey

Lol! Loved those last lines Maureen. You are brave to change your hair color like that. Mine is silver grey. Since I'm almost 70, I will leave it that way. :)

Thank you Susan! When I'm grey enough, I'll probably grow it out. Looking at grey wigs though... I have given in to my love of shaving. ;) xomo!

Early morning wandering through poems of yours due. When you said, "All true", mi Musa has hair so blue. She once had a purple afro. All wonderful colors between you two. Thanks as always Maureen. I need to read all of yours.

Hi M.M, I like the free-spirit of this poem and am a bit envious.. You see I'm a victim of genetic mange. I guess I could dye my back hair another color. Best wishes, Anthony

I sometimes see teenagers with blue or green or purple hair - but I'm not brave enough to go there! Really enjoyed reading this, Maureen!

The naked truth, as it were … LOL … Just curious: Did you dye your hair blue -- or your head blue? (I can read/interpret it both ways). RSVP … Monsieur Garcon

Yeah... "buzzed" or "clipped" had less poetic edge ;) ...I used a 1/4" guard (am big blue itty, the it being the flame job, had to take it off to change hue) If that makes any sense (as if in 5 with coffee I'll make more sense...) ;p xomo

This is awesome. As my kids would say, “lit”! I love your personality and how it shows in your poetry!

I was just going to say red heads have so much fun.. but now you have dyed it blue.. My fave colour!!

I would say fun...

I'd have to say you're right, I've been mostly reds, dipped into pink and a lot of orange. But blondes have more fun. Which begs the question, which came first, the colour or the fun?...

LOL I am laughing, because I had a hair change coloring experience twice lately . I usually don't color my hair. This was a fun poem. GREAT! Well done :)
