Note from the Author: I want to let you know that this is an unusual story, and it has been written purely from whatever is in my unconscious mind, because before I start writing, I get into a flow state that reaches my unconsciousness. I also write in my subconscious mind, which is like a mid-flow state between the conscious and unconscious mind.

Interesting choice of subject. How does it feel when they are being braided? I could see this being written from many perspectives.
Very cool braids.
Power to Hair LOVE IT HUGS
Cornrows take such patience...and beautiful hair. And the senryu teaches that virtue. Clever, Tiff.
They're so beautiful and I love your haiku
Last week I was in Belize and came across a woman set up in a little tent doing cornrows. She was so amazing and so fast. There was a whole line of women and men waiting for her, but I just stood there for a bit watching her hands fly. It was kind of mesmerizing watching her speed through each head of hair. Great haiku!
Very informative, excellent words
Two hours! As much as i love the intricacy, i love a wild 'fro! perfect entry for the challenge, Tiff!
A very creative haiku. :D Very nice idea. The haiku is lovely and it's also educational. Because, I had no idea it takes two hours! Perhaps it depends on the length of hair or the amount of hair? I think it's artistic work. I hope you got some tea and biscuits in that time. :D
Great haiku Tiffany hope it’s atop Story 🌺💙🌺
I love looking at braids. Love the haiku, Tiffany <3
Right to the point!
Love This❤️ 😍
I did my own braids this week, it was about two hours, not as pretty, but yeah, I did it. it passed muster. So, very happy for your neat and lovely do.
Oh man. My daughter is at the age where she’s starting to ask for braids. Up until now she’d been perfectly happy to just keep her hair short and natural. I’m not looking forward to the bill and I’m definitely not looking forward to waiting fro 2 hours for her braid. But she keeps saying she wants to look like her preschool teacher so I think I’m gonna have to just do it. Solid poem, reminds me of the one time I drove my now ex to a hair appt and she wanted me to sit there and wait for the whole appt. I tried but I just couldn’t tough it out. Left for some food after about 30 minutes in.
Oh wow, it takes 2 hours? But it always looks soooo beautiful! Loved your Haiku Tiffy!
