Beautiful writing, so succinct with a flowing rhythm. Comes across as very polished. Many would relate to the sentimemts expressed in your poem, especially women. The illustration was a perfect match. Cheers.ð???

Hi Monz1 Again thank you so mich for this lovely review and six stars for my Mirror poem. A little reflective with a touch of humour and I also like this image from the FS art selection it just went with my words. Poem first though I am pleased to have you on my side. Cheers my friend Christine

This is a very well written poem on what we hope to see and actually do see when we look in the mirror as we age. The entire concept is excellent, the presentation, content, and humor. Great entry for the contest. Marilyn

Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, Mirror, Mirror On the Wall, reminds us all that we're not getting any younger. I like the resolution that we have gathered "souvenirs" to wear on our faces. Nice.

I really enjoyed reading this poem and can relate to the feelings you express. Especially when you mention getting up each morning hoping to see the young girl you once were. Acceptance is certainly the right path. Thanks again for sharing...I don't feel so alone in my experience.

I like the rhyming in your poem and the story you tell. After age 50, I think all women can relate to your words. We just have to smile back at that mirror!

Hi Miajaffri, Thank you for reading and reviewing my contest mirror entry. A bit if reflection but one just has to accept ageing and a good hairdresser helps LOL Cheers
Comment from Rasmine
Yeah, I feel that way too. I have a very youthful face, but still, I see the lines and the one gray hair that I do not pluck. I heard if you do, then two or three grow back so, LOL!
My favorite stanza is your first:
What do I see in the mirror each day?
Sometimes when I look I get frightened away.
Cause instead some old broad impersonates me,
She's sure not the one I''m expecting to see.

Comment from Linda Hughes
I really like this poem. I'm thinking it is a magic mirror letting you see the image of who you once were, but gives you glimpses of who you really are now. And it's exciting and frightening at the same time, but by poem's end you are just as rational as the process of aging. Good luck in the contest. It's really good.

Comment from Octavia
Very nice entry for "what you see in the mirror" contest, mystery writer.
The aa/bb rhyme flowed flawlessly making it entertaining to read.
It was great to see some humor and acceptance.
I especially liked the last line - souvenirs (nice euphemism)
Good luck in the contest - I think this piece is a strong contender!

Hi Octavia, I enjoyed doing this poem for the contest and had a bit of fun with the mirror theme. Unfortunatley can't change the aging process and I do have my own teeth still LOL. The rest is pretty true collecting souvenirs daily Cheers
