Comment from Meia (MESAYERS)
I can not go back now, or alter my face,
Just accept this old broad; who is her replace.
And the lines that I see now, have earned over years,
Just think of them fondly as my souvenirs.'
I feel the same, how ten or twenty years change the way you feel, but at the end you have brought this to a pleasant onclusion you have to love what and who you are, that is the best beauty tonic. Well done best wishes Meia x

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem. The mirror shows the one thing not any one of us can escape. The aging body is visible in the mirror, but when we look deeper we see our souls are still young and pure.

Aging is no friend to youthful looks. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very interesting read. There is very good imagery and descriptive read.

Hi C lucas. I am so pleased you thought this well written Itwas fun to look at myself as maybe a mirror would although having a good hairdresser helps LOL Cheers
Comment from Brett Matthew West
Coming to terms with one's self as they grow older is not always an easy thing to do.
However, there is nothing that can be done about the aging process, so might as well accept it for what it is.
Should make an interesting entry into this contest.

Comment from sunao
This is beautiful! This poem made me think of people who have lost their minds to dementia or Alzheimer's disease. It is tragic and scary if you cannot recognize the person who is staring back at you in the mirror. Please keep up the good work and good luck on the contest!

Comment from marybell1
I enjoyed reading your poem "Mirror Mirror on the Wall" You rhymed it beautifully and had a very appropriate picture. I bet that young girl you expected to see would not have those lines of experience on her face or the expertise to write such a lovely poem.
Best of luck in the contest.

Comment from pome lover
yep. I know the feeling. dim light helps. :)
they ought to make mirrors for faces like the "thin" mirrors for bodies.
However, as you say, enjoy the memories and souvenirs - there's no going back.
You expressed well the feelings lots of us have. good job.
