Healing Haiku

Hello Family!
In the spirit of TallGirl’s excellent blog on the power of the internet in the creation of our home here at Alopecia World; I would like to launch a blog for creative expression. For those of you who are not familiar with haiku, there are many forms, but the basic format is a small poem that comprises of three lines with a specific structure. The first line of a haiku has 5 syllables. The second line has 7 syllables. And the last line has 5 syllables. As you compose your haiku poem, it’s helpful to count out the syl-la-bles (3). There are no haiku snobs here, all poetic expressions are encouraged and welcomed.

I’ll start off with my tribute to the strength I’ve received at AW to live a “Bald Life”.

I move through the day
Unaware of the staring
I’m glad to be free.


Have fun everyone! Peace and Love to you all.
~Galena

I love this - do you mind if I put it on my blog?

Well, here is a "Before AW" haiku. Who can follow with some "after" ones?

Betraying, no-good,
Come-and-go tresses.
This sure depresses.

Brava Tallgirl! Consider mine an "after " to your haiku of beginning hair loss--but I too hope to see more. Thanks for contributing.

We are not to blame
If we have no mane
We need not be ashamed
Hair is not our name

Sad for the hair loss
Grateful for all I do have
Peace, inner strength, love

Haiku
I rest easily
on the knots of my hammock's
ropes that unknot care.

Where is my hair?
People stop and stare
Too keep down confusion
I just put one in thee airrrr
