This was a very succint work. In a few words you have captured the very essence of the contest requirements.
All we ever see in a mirror is a reverse image of ourselves, and you have just proved the point. Mind you I have often wondered what my dogs see when they look in the mirror lol

Nice work. These types of poems seem quite tricky. I think I'm inspired to write one now. Nice imagery from such a short piece. It is very striking and to the point.
Well done

How true! A large magnifying mirror really tells a story. All those little whiskers that we can't see to pluck on our face, blackheads and spots are also revealed. It sometimes doesn't pay to look in the mirror. LOL Hugs, V.A.

Creative haiku. The reader can see the image being reflected in the mirror or even water in a pond. You did well with the haiku form and developed a poem with a unique
theme of looking at oneself.

How clever this is! In such a short form it is often possible to fit the bill, and sometimes it is achievable to create humor, but this one does both of those and leaves one wondering why it didn't seem obvious from the title - and yet it wasn't. Well done!

"He and I are... one" - This came to me while reading your poem, but I think "me" has more meaning. This is very well written. Good luck in your contest.

I love the depth and emotion in this poem. It's a real literary victory to fit so much into so few words. :) Enjoyed this very much; thank you for sharing!

Wow! Nice job with this poem.
Love the way the poem moves from alluding to eyes in the 2nd stanza and then moves to the unexpected conclusion..."he and I are...me"!
Love the personification of the mirror! "He blinks when I blink, etc"!
Message: The mirror always reflects you, and who you are!
Great job with this form 5-7-5!

Nice 5-7-5 verse. Thought provoking. I think a picture would be nice with someone looking in a mirror. Just my slant on it. Thanks so much for sharing.
