✍🏽 BIG WORDS FOR BIGGER HAIR
Poem written by Juné (Part 1)
Similes, metaphors, personification
An endless list of ways to describe things
Yet no matter how many phrases,
idioms and expressions I search for
No one can describe the complicated,
intricate, boundless strands of curls
that spring from my head.
How do I find a word to explain
That my roots carry smiles that are painted
by the sweet sugar dust from the moon
Cheeks that emulate roses
planted in a garden of golden soil
A voice that lovesick butterflies dance to…
