hair matted to her face
the young girl
makes the free throw

twin twisted knots
adorn the nape of her neck
Christmas ornaments

Stefanie Lovelass (6)

a porcuipine
with many quills
lots of gel

tickle fight
he wins the prize
Illini scrunchi

Brock Peoples (5)

a big pink bubble pops
girls laugh for the rest of the day
sticky gooey blonde hair

metallic sharpness flashes,
the floor covered
in coppery curls

crisp morning
pulling a sweater on
over wet hair

Stacy Radliff (5)

returning home
a strand of her hair on his arm
he clenches his fist

trying too hard
her beautiful bangs
hide her blue eyes

James Osmun (3)

warm chestnut hair
spills over the
white satin of her coffin

Maureen Yates

          head full of weave
the young girl
          walks in confidence

Nikki Garry (3)

silken blonde pigtails
gathered in pink bows
the start of summer

layers and layers of hair
being swept up at the salon
my childhood is now gone

Candace Golden (3)

salt and pepper
spilt on the table
grandpa’s hair
