 Thick mirrors of transparent glass, 

slates of graphite stuck to wall, 
big bottles of shaving foam, 
flammable containers of liquid spray, 
a tetra assembly of royal chairs, 
with protruding headrests of cushioned rexin, 
fluorescent light rods producing blue light, 
arrays of scissors made of stainless steel, 
razor switch blades in plastic shells, 
brown hairbrush with artificial teeth, 
polygonal cans of medicated shampoo, 
soft white towels dipped in hot steam, 
aromatic hair oil in copper tins, 
giant clock hung to wall nail, 
electronic hair drier suspended from a jugglery of wires, 
wooden boxes of talcum powder, 
tantalizing odour of body cologne, 
huge paint brush coated with black dye, 
rectangular green tablets of antiseptic soap, 
flocks of silky hair lying dead on the floor, 
offering a wide range of services like, 
haircut, massage, facial, bleach, 
special shave and shampoo bath, 
with an iron safe for stacking currency notes, 
and a large tumbler of cool water, 
shaping hairy demons to presentable gods, 
as i stretch my legs, 
in the crowded ambience of the hair cutting saloon.

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.

Omega Factor by John Henning

Take some time to walk outside of your own mind and into another, walk slowly and carefully; the mind that you step on might be your own.
