Morning mirror, cruel sensation,
a tangle born of aggravation.
Strands rebel in wild parade,
a storm of knots my sleep has made.
I lift the brush, a knight in fight,
against this frizz of endless might.
Each pull, a tug, a hiss, a groan,
my hair declares, “Leave me alone!”
Patience frays, but still I dare,
to wrestle chaos from my hair.
At last it yields, a truce declared,
order shines where snags once flared.
Yet tomorrow brings the same vexation,
a fresh new crown of aggravation.
That is about as aggravating as it gets. Happy Saturday Carol anne.

A wonderfully vivid and relatable poem! You’ve perfectly captured the universal, daily battle with “morning hair,” transforming a mundane frustration into a epic, miniature knight’s quest. The personification of the hair as a rebellious entity is brilliant, and the cyclical ending—”Yet tomorrow brings the same vexation”—is both humorous and true to life. Delightful work
