The Tale of the Tail (Simply 6 Minutes)

Inspired by and written for Simply 6 Minutes, my thanks to Christine

Simply 6 Minutes – Welcome to the Challenge: 06/04/2024

Form: Jeffrey’s Sonnet

The eyes close as the clippers buzz
His hands create art in the fuzz
No more old-style short, back and side
Something new, who cares what they say
Make it clear I live it my way
He nods, and I let him decide

I’m not tied to the fitting in
Being different is no sin
All the same is a boring thing
Don’t make me a mirror to see
Ways I think you should also be
Do you, and I’ll do me with bling

Such old hat was the ponytail
It’s a fail, I’ll go with the rat

Time: 6 minutes

Word Count: 98

I am a freelance writer and poet and started writing after raising my two boys as a way of discovering just who Jez is. That is still very much an ongoing project but the journey so far has introduced me to many wonderful friends and fellow writers through an ever-growing love of poetry.
