Human Foliage
Black and blonde
And dense and sparse
And short and long
And coarse from wear.
I know it isn’t clear,
But I’m talking about hair.
And not head hair
But hair that grows everywhere.
On your fingers.
And your knees,
And your ears,
And your toes.
Shave it off where you like.
Down in front and in your nose.
And then, if you’re pretty,
Go find a painter and pose.
Because you can make some good money that way without being called a slut.
Afterall, it’s art.

I believe this is my favorite, for many obvious and unobvious reasons.

No problem Joanne! I thought Creative Commons licenses let stuff be used for non-commercial purposes. But I just re-read it and found out I need permission. Thanks for helping me out by letting me know. I had made a habit of linking back to the creators deviantart profile in the hopes that anyone who reads my blog would click over and check them out.
Your painting is beautiful! Sorry to have used it without your permission.

As long as the image is not being reproduced, printed or used commercially, I dont mind it being used in this case.
But thanks for being understanding about it, just if any images need to be used again, then it might just be nice to drop them a line to ask.
keep up the good poetry!
