Magenta Hair

Magenta Hair
By Larry R. Linville

Across the giant hall
I saw her magenta hair.
Did she want to impress
or was it just to scare?

She wasn’t a teen ager
must be something other.
Wasn’t just a childish thing
she was someone’s mother.

Must be expressing freedom
for what, I do not know.
Everyone looked at her
as she put on a show.

Did her hair match her clothes?
You really shouldn’t ask me.
It was so bright where she sat
preventing me to see.

I have magenta crocs
I’d be glad to donate
if it would help her looks
but I fear it is too late.
