This is an odd poem written for Tess Kincaid’s Magpie TalesMagpie Tales. Tess posts a photographic prompt. I prefer to use my own art in my blog, so do my own version of Tess’s photo. And here’s the poem:
Arched/Domed
There is arched baldness and there is domed baldness,
Polished baldness and (simply) overly-shiny baldness,
Smooth baldness and whiskery baldness,
Waxed baldness (hair shaved) and waned baldness (hair receding),
Diabolic baldness and sweet baldness,
Destroyer-of-worlds baldness and lab-scientist-with-oddly-ruffled-
sides baldness.
The sweet (domed) baldness sits above a chest on which
one feels safe to rest one’s head,
While the arched baldness overlooks an
appraising brow.
You may wonder how I know
so much about no-hair.
Wonder on.
