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.

I am Dominique.
They all say I'm quite unique.
Eccentric, or freak.

That's right Domique!
Just to be free and unique
Breaks the social code.

Bald is not for me
People stare - cancer they see
Wigs let me be me

Tanya,
Thanks for the invite
It is good to laugh sometimes
Even when crying.

They all watched me dance.
Nobody asked about hair.
I am a Rock Star!
