Ben, what a neat story. You have a nice way of putting words together and they always make sense, not like some I have read. If this is your rear view mirror, I am sorry you have been so broken. I hope you get that mirror fixed! Hugs Miss Sally

Hi, TK...

_ Sad, reflective piece.
_ Looking in the rear view mirror is not always pleasant, although during the journey, many lessons learned.
_ Glad your computer woes are fixed. They can be very aggravating.

Cheers & Blessings
Keep Smilin'... Lady J (*:*)

The poem is sad and relates to bad decisions The past is past and it's better left alone. The heart is capable of loving more than once. It looks like the person you are referring to has never found true love. True love never has to say good bye as long as both persons love with the same intensity. Its better to look forward and try to find that special person who is waiting for her other half. It is well written with beautiful wording . The picture used mirrors your poem.****** virtual stars.

there are times when things just need to be let go of and it is hard to regain what once was the love, forgiveness and understanding

Life looking in a rear view mirror I know that was not the title, but it is repeated throughout and stuck with me. A good solid poem that is full of reflections of what was and might have been. There is sadness and beauty in you work.
Put the car in first gear and rev the hell out of it until you are thrusted forward and back into life. Then look back in the rear view mirror and take from it the best.
Emily

-This is quite a poem, so well written, so reflective, and seemingly sad.
-So many great images and comparisons as I read it, wanting to read on, but feeling this sense of regret, hoping at the same time, it is in the past.
-The analogy of the broken rear view mirror and the magic keyboard is very good as you begin the poem.
-I don't think there is anyone who hasn't had some kind of regret in their lives.
-The image "scattered upon the black top of my life" and the one about the Corvette are very effective, vivid, and creative.
-The comparison to a "life's mechanic" is good. However, if you shared your heart and soul, then the person mustn't have cared that much, or they would have accepted you as you are.
-This is a very deep, reflective poem and written well and I hope mostly from your imagination!

Good job! I like your poem. It has good rhythm and a nice flow. The format is attractive and easy to read. I don't see anything to change is perfect the way it is.

Hi TK,
That review mirror can make us take a good look at things. We all have the good, the bad, the things we cherish and those, oh we'll I messed up times. This is quite an array of emotions--just like life.
Excellent choice of photo to compliment your verse. That road looks we'll u see, but still worth traveling.

First let me say, love your profile picture!
Second, I love this reflective poem about learning to love again. I think rear view mirrors are helpful but sometimes you just have to keep on driving down the highway. But keep our hearts open for another chance at love. 8-)

Your words captured my attention from the first line to the last. Yes we all have mirrors of the past. I believe I was blessed when I had my stroke many things I don't remember. times I have flash backs that brings back pain and sorrow.
