I loved this! I wrote a poem a while back called "Before I loved my curls". For many years I thought I just had extremely frizzy hair. Now when I air dry I have ringlets. It's almost as if my hair needed to feel safe to curl before it finally did. <3
(1) Posetry is genius (2) This was a brilliant ode to wild haired girls ❤️ My hair gets more curly with each passing year and it has taken some getting used to. (3) Loved hearing your voice read!
I love this poem! I relate to feeling my hair is too wild as well. You are brave to record yourself reading them poem, but I think you did great and it makes your Substack feel so cozy and polished!
Thanks, Julia!! I cringed a bit when I heard it to make sure it sounded ok, but trying to put myself out there haha! I'd love to hear you read one of your poems❤️
Ahh! I love this! ☺️
Two notes: This is was beautiful, and your hair is beautiful, Rosa. I hope you’ve learned to love your waves because they are gorgeous. 💕
Please keep writing these prosetry pieces! They are delightful.
Thank you, Allana!! You're too kind. I LOVE your curly hair, too!!
Thanks, Rosa! That’s so sweet of you. ☺️

I love that. Like so many things, we have to allow it the freedom to do what it was born to do❤️ I'd love to read your piece!! Is it on your insta?
Really engaging post and prose-poem. I like the metaphors of sea and river. And the layout makes it look like artwork!
Thank you, Kassi❤️ means a lot!
I especially love the audio. Poetry read by the one who wrote it always has a special effect you don’t get from the reader reading. 🤗
Ahhh I agree. It's intimidating to do, but it truly has a special effect. Thanks for reading and listening!!

Thank you, friend!! I totally get it. I'm still figuring my hair out and it's been wavy/curly my whole life. But I've slowly learned to love it.
