To celebrate National Poetry Month, I'll be posting a new line of poetry every morning on Texas Pages for a little feature called "Morning Verse." The lines will span from ancient haiku to slam poetry and include a variety of voices from Shakespeare to Allen Ginsberg to Lucille Clifton. Every Friday, we'll feature lines from our very own poets in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Feel free to tell us what you think, send us a poem inspired by the line or recommend your own favorite lines. Dallas poets, especially, please send me the best lines from your poems for the Friday feature. Without further ado, here is the first line: I was about to have my hair combed into the new music everyone was singing. -Susan Mitchell, "Havana Birth"

"I was about to have my hair combed into the new music everyone was singing" inspired me to write the following haiku:
Girl becomes aware
Through metaphor of music
Life's realities.

Excellent idea, music and hair. Who would have thunk it?

How about combing each hair into a dfferent kind of music?
