Love Your Head

i smell the shampoo
in your hair
i feel the ridge
you've had
on your skull
since you were a kid
something you're
self-conscious about
you joke about
shaving your head
but you worry about
how it would look
what people
would think
either way, i say
i would still
give you
kisses on the head

Good poem.

Good poem.
Unique wording of a ubiqutious feeling .
Everyone can relate to.
Not sure about the name.
Flow and composition is good and balanced.
Maybe instead of either way you want to say something more affectionate?
Maybe you would love to kiss the soft bristle of the shaven head embracing all the goofiness, cutness and smells?

My pleasure

Awesome Poem

At first glance I was taken a back. Breathless is the only word I can come up with. Brilliance with a taste of salt in your mouth. The moving of words. Further halfway down was incredible to this magnificent piece. Lastly I will savor every word that was written in this simplistic piece.

thanks, chevyvent!
