An interesting poem both in content and composition. You have described the process of self contemplation well. I enjoyed the staccato rhythm of it too. Thanks for sharing.

You got me to have to look up a word, 'sopaistry,' so that makes me happy. I like to learn new words. This was also a good poem with a lot of meaning to it also.

Comment from richie b
Cogitator,
Your poem reveals much truth in human nature.
When we choose to grow we find so much more of
ourselves and more joys to appreciate. When we
lie dormant, we become sullen and blame others
for our problems. Thank you for sharing.
Peace,
Richie b

Comment from Susan Larson
This is a very thought provoking poem with very nice rhyme and rhythm. I would love to hear it read aloud. This would be great for a poetry interpretation contest. My only question: Is "There's three levels" instead of 'There're three level" an example of poetic license?

Comment from A. Louise Robertson
Wow, you have certainly used a bunch of rhyming words in this poem! The poetry reads very musically because of all of the rhymes. I enjoyed each description of what the mirror reveals. I particularly enjoyed your last verse in which you disclose what it is we are all looking for, I pray that I am on the way to earning eternal life... the rest is immaterial!

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
I liked the monorhyme in each stanza, it made the flow fast and exciting. I have tried to self-analyse myself several times, and each time I came out a different person. I wonder if we are truly honest with ourselves to actually do this. Analysing the three levels, is an interesting concept, I'll try that. I do know that I agree with your last stanza, whatever we find, we have more to learn. Well done, John, this was not only very well written, it has given me more a lot more to think about. :)) Sandra

Comment from Huguette M. Forest-Coultry
I am not usually as attracted to rhyming poetry as I was with this piece. The phrases brought pictures to my mind. It could be that I am ALWAYS drawn to spiritual works but what I love about this one is the subtlety involved.
My prayer is that people be touched by the Spirit and spend time pondering their "faith" beliefs.
I was thrown off by the 'female' not a 'man' in the mirror, although I recognize the meaning of man/hu-man as non-gender.
Thank you. Well done.
