Under Adam's Spell
I sat in front of his mirror -
my long locks looking askew.
It brought me significant anguish.
Atrocious means horrible in my book
and my book spelled it awry...
A – Awful
W – Weird
R – Rigid
Y – Yuk
Luckily, a new hairdresser, Adam,
gave me auspicious hope.
He was able to assuage the rigidity
with great aspiration,
with a burning desire towards release.
My head was in his hands.
He managed to absolve my wild ringlets
removing hairspray, gels, then cutting.
After awhile, I stood up amazed.
Adam had spelled my awkward look with allure...
A – Attention
L – Lavished
L – Loveliness
U – Unrivaled
R – Release
E – Elation
