Welcome to my barber shop,

I made a wish upon a
Falling star

“Hoping”

“Eagerly”

And let me make it
To a Beauty salon

While I attempt to sing
Ain’t no sunshine...

Oh! My gosh. What is it with the girly girl 
Adventure?
They say looking great is a lure
To capture
An amore. To me that's a whole other 
Venture.
I am such an amateur.
I am not looking for any...

The Gust of Wind

A gust hath burst,
As she traversed,
A short-cut to,
Broad avenue,
Her black silk dress,
Looped to a mess,
Struggled full-length,
Maintained her strength,
Her matching shawl,
Challenging haul,
