This Mess On My Head, a poem by Jenna Terese
There’s this mess on top of my head
And when I get up out of bed
It’s all frizzy and fluff
And that kind of stuff
This mess on top of my head
And this mess on top of my head
Though taming it all I do dread
There are some good days
Sometimes when it lays
Just right, on top of my head
On top of my head there are curls
And around and around they do twirl
Too many to count
No reason to pout
About the mess that I call all my curls
Though some hair days can be quite bad
And though I could get very mad
It’s what I was given
From Him up in heaven
So I’ll love this mess on my head

Just letting you all know that I won’t be posting next week. The reason being…I’M GOING TO THE REALM MAKERS WRITERS CONFERENCE! (If you don’t know what that that is, check it out here) I am inhumanly excited and can’t wait to meet authors, writers, and BUY BOOKS! 😀 Quite honestly, things are just going to be too busy for me to write a coherent blog post, but the Saturday after Realm Makers weekend (July 28th), you can expect a thorough post (with pics!) about my adventure at Realm Makers. 🙂
Write on,
Let’s chat in the comments! Are you a dedicated poet, or just write an occasional poem, like me? Are you going to Realm Makers too, or another writers conference this year?
LIKE THIS? THEN PIN IT!

I’ve dabbled in poetry, but never been particularly good at it. Also, WHAT YOU’RE GOING TO REALM MAKERS?????? *all Australians die quietly of jealousy* 😀
YES I’M SO EXCITED! I so wish my Aussie friends could go too! 😉
That was a masterpiece. Well done, Jenna. XD
Heehee, thanks! 🙂
Oh my word, I loved this. XD
And EEK REALM MAKERS. I will go one day. One day when I have lots of money. (I say as I continue life as an author which isn’t likely to get me lots of money *dies*)
Thank you! And yes, become rich so you can come to Realm Makers one day!!! 😉
I liked how your poem addressed something that seems so trivial, but still is important because we can honor God through contentment. That was great 🙂
And, to answer your questions, I only write poems occasionally, and even then they’re free verse and not very structured.
Have fun at Realm Makers 😀
Thank you! Yes, I used to really dislike my hair, but now I’m learning how to be content and even love what God’s given me. 😉
I like free verse poems. 🙂
Aw, this poem is so sweet! I hope you post more like this. <3
Thank you! I just might do that. 😉
Lovely poem! (Amusing and meaniful, impressive!)
Whaaa–Realm Makers??? *pouts with jealousy* One day i will make it over there… I can stow-away or something… Anyway, make sure you enjoy it for all of us who aren’t going!
Thanks! 😀
Ah, yes you’ll have to come over to the states one day. 😉
