I had heard that one too. But if it were true, there would be a lot of hairy skeletons out there. Good to know that it is just a myth. Thank you for sharing.

That is a very strange "myth" indeed.
Our minds can believe almost anything that it is told.
Especially if someone is convincing, right?
Thanks for this correction from Goggle search of the truth.
I am so relieved...LOL

Bless you!

I heard that hair on your toes fall off and that's how they can be sure that a body is dead. Glad what you found out from the hairdresser was a myth. Because it's really freaky information. Great investigative report in a poem.

Hello Robina. This is a gruesome thought. But actually for a short while hair and nails do keep growing . Brain cells die quickly but hair and nail cells which use less oxygen can grow for a LITTLE while after death. Ugh! Enough of that. Thank you for submitting and the picture. Regards Dorothy.

I've heard this so many times, and always found it a bit macabre. So, it's just a myth.

You express yourself well in this poem, Ine.

Yes. I have heard that too. The skin shrinks and recedes giving the impression that the hair and nails are growing. Unless it is a vampire! Hahaha. What a scary little picture from Skyangel02. Creepy. Fun piece. mikey

Good description that draws a clear image in my mind. Good alliteration with made/my...Poe/poem...really/reality. Good simile use with like a Poe poem. Good complimentary photo followed by a clear message.

Never heard that before but if I did I would not have believed it. Nothing could grow from a dead body.Superb presentation

Really, I always believed it possible but I suppose it really isn't. I'm glad you cleared that up for me. Of course it is a myth! How silly is that? LOL Good story Ine. Nancy
