Oh yes. I can so relate to this. I have been in denial for some time but have finally come to terms with it and it has made life much easier. Great one line Poem and illustration. Good luck.

I enjoyed reading your one line poem "Personal Portrait". You followed all the rules for this genre and you chose a very appropriate picture.
All the best.

This work has reached the exceptional level

G'day DD.

A very nicely thought out contest entry and I wish you the best of luck in it.

I threw all of my mirrors out because the buggers kept lying to me. Nobody is as ugly as they told me I was every morning lol.

Great job, mate.

Cheers Fez

    Fez, you were looking at your chalk board weren?t you? I?m very thankful for the six although I feel like I don?t deserve it. You are beautiful Fez, I see it in your stories. They show me what you look like on the inside. ~DDoxo

    Wow, what a very nice and humbling thing to say, thank you. But, you do deserve it as does almost everything of yours that I've ever read. You have so much talent that you deserve accolades, my friend.

This is a lovely one line poem contest entry. Clear message of past and present reality. Great picture as if it was meant for this poem. Did you draw this to illustrate this poem. Good luck in the contest.

Riddle me this...riddle me that, another fabulous poem by Poems. The ghost in the mirror effects our aberration. Spirits get trapped in the mirror. It never ages with time. What we see in the mirror is a reflection of the past. We will unite and be one again, some day. Nice one liner. Good luck in the contest! Your friendly ghost, BOO~

What you wrote is so true, and for men too. The best thing about your poem is the last line. You cannot dislike someone who has laugh lines. Well done.

    zekeziemann, Thank you so much for your review. Yes, ageing can be hard to come to terms with but doing it gracefully is the key I think. I love the laugh lines too : -) ~DD

I love it, yu gave us the aging but did not use the harsh reality, instead used the gentler words that we love to see. I am proud of mine

    Barb, Thank you so much for your review on my One Line poem which I enjoyed reading. Yes, ageing can be hard to come to terms with. The trick is to try and do it gracefully, I'm trying : -)~DD

And in some cases, scars. I am not a scholar of these short, short works. This contest will be tough, I have reviewed several, all looking equally excellent to me.
I didn't see any better than this. Thank goodness the judges call the winners.

    LIJ Red, thanks for taking the time to review my One Line poem. I did initially have scars written in this piece but decided to take it out as the list was getting a bit long. Kind regards ~DD

Hello Poet, this is a descriptive little one line poem about the aging process and how it can convey a life well lived through a variety of experiences. I thought you used excellent word economy as well. Best to you in the contest.
