Ode to Hair Dye
A poem for the Ode to Ordinary Challenge
Red used to be my colour.
Iāve had it that way as long as I can remember.
Dying your hair can be quite the challenge.
What colour do I choose next?
āLook at meā it screams.
Self expression at its finest.
Such a simple feat.
Colours galore.
The chemical smell is intoxicating.
Itās beauty in the little things.
Synthetic hair colour has been around for a century.
But beyond that,
The Stone Age shows how beauty can be defined.
Using rocks and clay.
Hide the grey they say.
Such a simple yet beautiful thing.
Filled with toxic chemicals and joy.
I find hair dye to be one of the greatest things.

10 Lessons from Sarah J. Maas
"You learn to write by reading the writers you love." I recently took this course by Damien Walter! I wanted to share with you all what I took away from the course, and to share my thoughts on writing fantasy. He did an analysis on the opening chapter of A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas and I have a new set of lenses while I am reading. I was inspired by previous Udemy post to create this one on this specific course.

My mom was 90 and would never allow her hair to gray. I stopped coloring my hair when covid first hit our area. everything was closed. Now, I just allow it to do its natural thing.
Interesting Ode. Good work. :)
