Comment from Bill Schott
This octelle, Narcissus, has the right set up and 'mirrors' the habits of the mythical character whose conceit cost him.

Thank you for sharing your insights!

Oh, you are such a very BA-A-A-AD person for such suggestions, Lady June (wink, wink). ;) This is a wonderful employment of this new form and says something that many more people probably actually 'think' but just don't 'say'... ;) Thanx for sharing your pen in the challenge! ;) Yvette

Thank you for your honest review. As you probably could surmise - I am not in the habit of posting selfies. Can't stand to see myself on Zoom even! lol

You've successfully combined the old world with our new high tech world in your Octelle poem June and the distortion in the artwork works well with your theme. Nicely done.

June, you have hit the nail on the head! Man is so caught up in his own self, he thinks of nothing else. The inventions we have made, mobile phone, digital camera etc. All about us. I adored the photo! K XX

Comment from royowen
I think we all have slight preoccupation with "self" but then there are plenty out there that will put a dampener on that assumption, beautifully written friend June, as all your work is. Well done, blessings Roy

How interesting juxtaposing modern- day selfie activity with the tale of Narcissus from Greek Mythology - it seems appropriate - the poem conveys the comparison effectively -

I love this. It's an excellent Octelle and the picture is amazing too. I remember the myth about Narcissus liking to falling in love with his own reflection.
