I read this some time ago, but apparently I didn't comment on it. However, it stuck with me--it must be a year or more, and now I've met a young black woman at my church, and kept thinking about the "nappy hair poem" I read, wishing I could share it with her.
I looked under cultures and it wasn't hard to find at all.
I liked it for its spunky attitude and sense of self-esteem in the writer.
And now you know your work is memorable!

I feel you sister... Sometimes when I am going through hard times I forget that I must lean on Him and He will take care of everything. And He always comes through...
I feel your passion and conviction... Great work, Girl!

LOLOLOLOL
GOTTA LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I so relate to it. I am hispanic, and have curly hair, which I have always loved. Except back in the 70's those hippie days of youth for me. I think I straightened it for two years, then went to the curly look and have kept it ever since....but let me tell you.....now don't be afraid......when you get older, and deciede to dye your hair....I am 51, and have what I call a skunk stripe part in my mane...the dye, makes your hair dry........and it gets frizzy on top of whatever you had originally...so for me...its curls, which I am fine with......and FRIZZ.......ugh...So now I have a medusa thing going combined with Bride of Frankenstein, aka Marge Simpson.
Your poem is so well constructed.....the timing, the message, and the humor........I loved it........
Keep your look........its yours!!!!!

I can see the innocence you possessed at the bearing of your soul at that time of your life. You had great poetic sense back then, but I also see how you've matured and blossomed into the woman you are, having read some of your other works. You have a great gift to share and I, for one, appreciate it.
I am mainly a writer of prose, not poetry, and had to learn to be a poet by practice and patience, and I am nowhere near as good as you - I am still learning. Keep up the faith AND good work!
Thanks for sharing, my Sister!

BRAVO Sister!
I can relate to every single word and I am blessed with the ever-lasting sister's plight! Proudy wear yout natural hair as God intended. I have the opposite problem... I WANTED a 'Fro but my hair was too soft & long to get one (Had a big crater on top of my head). I cut it all off back in high school just to have one a little while (my was only 2 inches long a the MOST), but try as I might, my hair grew fast and the crater was back about two months later. Anyway, to make a long history with my hair short (?), I said 'let grow and let God' - and here I am many years later.
Your poem brings back memories, and I LOVED it! I want more... take care!

I thought one of the best things that happened in the 60s was the Afro, and people stopped wearing their hair straightened.
I'm not black, but I love my tight perms. And a cornrow is absolutely beautiful to see.
Darn tootin' be proud and be happy. Be YOU !
Nappy-Headed (Poetry) - 8/9/2006 10:31:29 PM
This unique and beautiful poem is universal in its appeal and I must conclude also that under the beautiful hair is a beautiful mind and soul. Well done.
Nappy-Headed (Poetry) - 8/9/2006 10:20:28 PM
Outstanding. I loved this, I understand all to well, I always wanted that long straight blond hair, ha ha, As a native american it was never going to happen. This is outstanding!
