This hokku [then called haiku by Shiki] depicts women in the ricefields - every day too busy to worry about the beauty of their hair. Chiyo-ni was using wordplay with the word 'KAMI', which can be read as 'hair' (as in the above translation) or as 'god/goddess.' from 'Chiyo-ni: Woman Haiku Master', by Patricia Donegan & Yoshie Ishibashi
