Poem: "With Respect to Fwoosh"

haikujaguar has sponsored the poem "With Respect to Fwoosh" ... which is appropriate, since it was inspired not only by her poetic prompt but by her artwork.

With Respect to Fwoosh



What does it mean when your hair blows in the wind?
That depends on the culture from which you come.
For a human, it could be a fashion trend.
For an elf, it means you’re feeling frolicsome.
For a dwarf, alas! You’ve gone around the bend.
For an alien, you’re dancing to love’s drum.
Whether on painting or statue or cartouche,
Only one word says it all, and that is: fwoosh!
