A New Skill

one-line poetry

Stuck inside, growing wild, untamed — I learned how to cut my own curtain bangs and I’m never going back.

Hi I’m Lucy and I want to thank Kathy Jacobs for the prompt: curtains! It seems so daunting to cut your own bangs (especially if you’re aiming for really short bangs), so I opted for curtain bangs, which are often more forgiving because just like curtains you can brush them aside and let whatever it was hiding shine through. Not that I’d like my forehead to be shiny, but you get the point!
