I like this, Joe. It's like a sudden discovery or maybe even a shocking one. Very well done. It's light and it's gives me a bit to think on ;)

Your poem is in fine 5-7-5 form and you use good personification of the mirror. It reminds me of Sylvia Plath's Mirror. I just feel that the second line lets it down as it doesn't really mean anything and would read better as 'staring deep into my eyes' - just a suggestion :) Tina

Very creative. I like the imagery. :) I would suggest maybe changing the font color to something darker and more contrasting. It's a little hard to see. Good idea to use the pause in the last line. It makes it more effective. Good luck! Anabelly

This is quite deep really, the way you suggest the two images of the one person, and I was amused by the thought of this distancing, yet being so close as One. It's a bit like the Abba song, 'Me and I'. I hope you will write a lot more.

I really enjoyed the uniqueness and creativity of this senyru type haiku (that is how I would title it). It is refreshing and very thought provoking

How is it I couldn't have thought of that?
I think that makes a marvellous haiku. The only thing is that the title gives the snow away. I think I would've called it Enigma and not solved it for us. Cheers!

Welcome to Fanstory. I'm fairly new at this site too. I enjoyed reading your poem, "Mirror". I'm always impressed with syllable county poems that say so much in so few words. Nice work.

So hard to get meaning or relevance into a 5-7-5 poem (I feel anyway). You cleverly worked some magic here - I like the simplicity and yet the deeper meaning versed. I like this alot, and the way you delivered in such a small space:) Good job! Best of luck with the contest ...
