Examples of unkempt in a Sentence

1. Yevgeny Aleksandrovich Yevtushenko:

I like it when the hay, unkempt, uncombed, with dry berries mixed in it, thrown together gaily and freely, bounces along atop some truck-and more, if there are some lovely and healthy lasses atop the hay-and better yet if the branches catch at the hay, and some of it tumbles to the road.

2. Len Goodman:

   You dance like your hair: a little wild and unkempt.
