African American Hair

Write a 15 line poem including a form of  Simile, Alliteration, and Imagery about African American Hair

  In tresses of ebony, a crown of might, African American hair, a wondrous sight. Twisting and turning like a river's flow, An emblem of strength, a heritage to show. Like tendrils of silk, it cascades and falls, Alluring as a moonlit night that enthralls. Each strand sings a song, a story untold, Resilient as the roots that firmly hold. In curls and coils, a landscape so vast, An afro blooms, a garden unsurpassed. A tapestry of texture, soft and wild, Imbued with history, like a sacred child. Alliteration dances in every strand, Whispering secrets, a symphony so grand. Kinks and waves unite, a chorus of grace, An ode to beauty, an embrace of race. Imagery paints pictures of pride and lore, African American hair, forevermore. A crown of heritage, an emblem of power, A testament to resilience that will never cower.
