I'm a sucker for honey hairdos.
Not what you find in beauty salons.
Natural. Long and full-bodied.
The kind that needs to twist like vines
and in Spring gets adorned with
fragrant little flowers-white, gold, red,
that cry out to be sucked for nectar.
They're real sweeties, much preferring
the outdoors, often letting their hair
down to expose burgeoning buds to the
sun. The windswept look fits them,
although the caught-in-the-rain style is
also fashionable. You can often see
them hanging around arbors, attracting
butterflies and hummingbirds. They
were green long before green was cool.
Some people call them honeysuckles.
