Goodbye, Mr. Duvall
It is turning out to be an interesting year. I was in the middle of teaching a class when a pop-up appeared on the screen announcing the death of Mr. Robert Seldon Duvall (yes, that was his full name). I was in the middle of a discussion on the obsession we have with winning when it comes to sports (the Winter Olympics was a theme), and I felt as though things were coming full circle. We had already lost Gene Hackman last year, and along with that titan, it feels though one particular golden age has closed off to be replaced by...?

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!
