This is a terrific poem on living life in the now. Get out of the past and carry on with it. These are great lines:
"A wake up call is answered
it pulls her mostly back;
Shedding her self-pity,
she returns to present tense."

Another great little poem. I can't figure out the format or probably Free type for sure but it was a good read. Also a lovely choice of photo is that you?

Hello there, this is a terrific entry for the mirror contest, my friend.
Sometimes people do fall into a life they didn't expect to be living in.
I suppose it could go either way good or bad.
Good luck in the contest! ~Kerry

It's true that sometimes, staring into our own face, we are suddenly jolted into the present moment where life always happens. I enjoyed reading your free verse poem. I wish you luck in the contest.

I really like some of the ideas here, but I'm not sure about the title.... which is a phrase much used. I admire:
'Shedding her self-pity,
she returns to present tense.'

with best wishes, Writeling

Wow, this poem cuts to the heart. You did a good job of incorporating 1st person and 3rd person views. Good poetry appears to come effortlessly for you. Definitely a top contender for the mirror prompt contest! Excellent job!

This is a very timely poem. At first I thought maybe it was going to go in a creepy direction with the reflection, but I think we all have a love-hate relationship with the person in the mirror.

ARTASYLUM

Very descriptive and interpretative pf what we see when we look into a mirror. We don't see ourselves objectively but the way we want to be seen or think we think how we should be seen. It takes confidence and strength of spirit to see us as we are and live in peace with it.

A beautiful write for sure!
A look in the past and a great strength needed to pull oneself from self pity. Self pity is always a dangerous pitfall. Makes you live n the past and pitying oneself.
I know it,
Well done you are on sure footing present tense, so rearrange things to your benefit.
Great.

This is a good entry for the prompt. I hope it did well.

This seems to be about a woman who finally breaks free from a bad relationship. She is leaving and becoming herself again.

Keep writing

Joan
