I Am A Fallen Hero

It’s only in this faded reflection

A mirror smashed to a million pieces

More than shattered.

A day will come when the mirror will be whole

For another thousand years

Another piece will fall from it.

Love is eternal.

Love is a curse.

Everywhere you will see

Nothing.

How could the mirror fall apart?

Eternal wasn’t it?

Rain drops on the shattered pieces

Off on another piece of the mirror

Very interesting poem. When I visualize this title I see a man falling out of the sky trying to rescue his true love. Great poem!

I like the structure to this poem. Acrostic, I think it's called!
Whenever I try and write one it just looks stupid and that I was forced to start the line off with that letter! But yours look natural and flows well :)
I really like this!

I enjoyed reading this one from the very beginning to the last! :D
Great job Fallen!

Who's William?

Well, anyways, I loved what you did with this poem. You showed love symbolized as a mirror, supposed to stay a whole for eternity, but like most relationships... they break.

Great job, I absolutely loved it. 100/100

so this was a challenge huh?
Well from the looks of it you have made this poem sounded like a love poem in a way, maybe that was the challenge from William? if that's the true than my oppinion is this poem is short but strong enough to send a message of fractured love..

I like how it wasn't like each line talks about something totally different from the one before. It creates a poem even with a chosen letter before each line. Excellent write, and yes, it doesn't seem much like a challenge. Enjoyable to read. :)

a great acrostic!! some great imagery in this - the shattered mirror that will one day become whole being my favourite. a strong semblance of the frailty and fickle nature of love!
