Best Curl Poems

Meandering in ocean breeze, love pondered romantic themes
Cherishing each other's company, early days saw happy dreams
Boasting vibrant sunsets we strolled, charming ardent evenings
Wallowing depth of loving embrace, longing to hold till eternity

Things soon changed, as cosmic paradise became a sullen sky
When bewildered stars saw you...

I quickly joined the Navy on June the 4th, 1943,  
As soon as I graduated at 17, life was definitely to be;
I received boot training in the state of Maryland, 
At Bainbridge, became a navigator noble and grand. 

I was sent to Amphibious Training...

Where in the world will you find a girl 
Whom you could say, 'I love you', my pal
And she says in return 
Come on, let us have fun
sit beside me on the couch, curl and twirl....

Curl Up and Dye

By Elton Camp

To craziness in salon names there’s no stop
Nobody likes simple:  Meg’s Beauty Shop

Maybe to call the place “The Mane Attraction”
Is a way for a cosmetologist to get some action

Womens’ hearts, the shop fills with gladness
When it has the zany...

ya think yiv got it down
ya haven’t been down under
under what ya say?
under what ya pray?

Well, I declare.....
I detest my claim to fame!
Without a doubt, it is my shame...
I cannot tame, my tangled mane!
Did you know....  my wayward hair does not play fair?
It's almost more than I can bear!

Well, now you know...It is my woe!
My locks will grow two...

A gold rush began ... the search for words
   Twist - curl, tie a knot on the tongue :

- "Red lorry, yellow lorry, red lorry, yellow lorry"

- "Seth at Sainsbury’s sells thick socks"

- "If Stu chews shoes, Stu should choose the shoes he...

"Cuts and Curls," opened today.
And needing a new look, I went in right away.
"A cut and curl and perm if you please,"
I told the young man as I sat back in ease.

He shampooed my hair as I dozed in my chair.
Then dreaming of a famous...

The Curl is Closing – Visual 1
6/9/2015

The curl is closing overhead,
I press to move the board along.
The shark is closing to my dread.
The curl is closing overhead,
maybe the shark has just been fed,
must not wipe out I could be wrong.
The curl is closing overhead,
I press...

Remember the old saying, “a rhyme in time saves nine”
Now what could that mean, forget it I don't have the time
Life's too filled of puzzles
Wanna curl up and snuggle
Forget all that nonsense, live a life of sublime

Her name is Mary
not Virgin Mary
or the girl with the dragon tattoo
it's Mary
the girl with a curl
when she is good
she is too good
when she is bad
she is too bad
in her teen years
she dated Wild Bill
and tried almost everything
jail
drugs
and orgies
but in her twenties
she married the other...

What is the color of your tears?
I wish I could paint them
softer blue,
then all of the oceans
can dry up and make that smile 
turn into sunlit waves. 

And dawn will spread your  beauty,
exploding through glazed eyes
as mist gently mushes your hair.
It is at night-...

So many broken hearts
so many words left unsaid
lead to the black tears we cry
and every cut that once bled
bawled up in a corner
stranded in the dark
with every stroke up and down i leave a bleeding mark
abanded hope left to die
were drowning in these tears i...

Down in the orchard an old woman lies -
Once a fair beauty when Texas was young.
She rests 'neath marble of adequate size,
But most of her deeds are left here unsung.

A widow from Georgia she came alone
To a land of great promise and travail.
Her husband lies...

Please keep me from falling
I’m a hair on your head.
Don’t leave me some morning
All alone on our bed.

Don't let me be parted
Or removed from my roots.
Please keep me from falling
To be trampled by boots.

Don’t take me out swimming
But left floating behind.
Gargling in a pool drain
I...
