My best friend by Sanku
Mirror Poem writing prompt entry

He told me frankly
without mincing words
the faint furrows on my forehead
the forward march of my age

He told me frankly
about the years I have lost
fat layers that are left
silver streaks that grace my hair

Feigning is foreign to him
solicitude a perfect stranger
but he is my only true friend
my mirror ,ever truly reflects.


Writing Prompt
We look in the mirror everyday. What do we see when we see ourselves? Write a poem about what you see when you look in the mirror. It can be as straightforward or abstract as you'd like. Creative responses and free-form poems are encouraged.

Author Notes
