I admire your use of monorhyme through each of the stanzas. It is a useful poetic device that draws the attention of the reader in and has them pondering your meanings ~ and learning new words too. :). Well done!

Hello Cogitator,
Nice piece of poetry having impressive phraseology, smooth flow with lovely rhyming scheme, and beautifully depicting the result of self-analysis: the highest being wise; Middle is maturity; lowest is the animal.
Description of these levels is particularly noteworthy.
Interesting Indeed!

A well written rhymed and flowing stanzaic poem throughout its structural ballad format and its three level life's advice behaviour of man. I did appreciate it all. A good job indeed.

I commend you on your rhyme scheme here. You've used some very unexpected rhymes in each stanza, and managed to get a near perfect rhyme in every line without the poem being too stiff and forced. I like the self-analysis tack too; we need to be friends with the "man in the mirror" otherwise we head for a fall. Well done!

Hello Cogitator,
your poem Man in the mirror of one giving him self-analysis
'Man in the Mirror' ; has very deep thoughts to ponder on like
this part of your poem- We've three levels to recognize
In the mirror before our eyes.
I like how you tell us
(the readers) what the three levels.

Comment from CrystieCookie999
This is such a readable poem. I think it would sound fantastic read aloud or recited, I mean. I like the lines: Not many souls in history/can help us solve life's mystery. And this is a great stanza to put on a mirror: The image you are discerning
Is telling you what you're yearning
Prepare yourself for some learning
Eternal life you'll be earning
Nice share.

I just love strong hard rhymes, a kind of Bob Dylan feel where the words and the tempo just pound in your brain but sink into the heart if you let it. I like how you have a strong message but the poetry skill and gift is so evident too!

Your discussion on self-analysis here provided interesting reading on the three levels, involving thoughts, beliefs, actions, and consequences. It seems that truth always gets skewed by sophistry.

Some deep philosophy in this one. Those who take the time to reflect have already climbed a rung or two up Maslow's hierarchy of needs. No one religion holds all the answers, but each holds an element of truth. An interesting poem.
