Medusa’s hairdresser was I,
told her cleanliness is next to godliness.
No mind she paid me,
soap never touched that head.
No surprise snakes nested there!
Written for dVerse, the virtual pub for poets around the globe. Merril hosted Tuesday Poetics and asked folks to choose a character from a well-known story or myth…but it could not be the main character. We were then to write a poem from that character’s perspective.
Well, I’m sure Medusa had a hairdresser so, tongue in cheek, that’s the perspective I took. A little fun with mythology!

Funny, Lill! Though I suppose the hairdresser had to work blindfolded. 😊
