Reflections

“You’re not the girl you used to be,”

the mirror says each day to me.

 

I look her squarely in the eye,

“I’m wiser now,” is my reply.

[The Verse: A Poetry Jou..]

Brief, but mighty. Your diction is precise and delivers. very well written.

A memorable wee poem which should come with all mirrors.

Self doubt is no match for self-confidence Rita - it only looks more menacing but it will back down at like the bully it is. Good for you "Lovely Rita" (The Beatles)

I like that, Anto - "it will back down like the bully that it is..." :) Thank you! As for that "Lovely Rita" - I suppose, because I am a poet, that I am indeed a "meter maid"! LOL!

[ANTO]

Hah! Brilliant reposte Rita - blooming brilliant! I love to play word-games with you.
Thank you very much

That is my hope... I should be darn near perfect by the time I reach 100... Thanks, Marie! :)

[Jack...]

Damn mirrors, someone needs to tell them off. Very nice Rita and perfectly relatable

[Rita L. Sev]

Ha! I tell her all the time... :) Thanks, Jack!

[Aethereal]

Now this is a very wise poem that reads well. I enjoyed your use of 0/0/0/0/ eight syllable meter here. It's not possible to step into the same river twice, but hopefully each time that we do it's a better river.

[Rita L. Sev]

I like that, Aethereal - thanks!

[Dr. Wood ?]

OH TO HAVE A MIRROR THAT REFLECTED OUR GENIUS

[Rita L. Sev]

Wouldn't that be wonderful...

[Angel]

You'd need a very large mirror, Doc

[Dr. Wood ?]

AH.........I'll just pop out and check me face

[Frieda P]

Mine will usually talk back and say I don't care how wise you are, put some lipstick on, you look like hell. Nice one Rita....I like your reflections very muchly.

[Rita L. Sev]

Ha! Thank you, Frieda! Happy Fourth!

[Frieda P]

You too Rita, enjoy!

[Pete Langley]

I can live with myself
if I fantasize
that the mirror on the shelf
tells lies.

.......sorry, Rita love! ...doing it again! (you got me thinking!) Great poem. P.

[Rita L. Sev]

My mirror is brutally honest... ;) Thanks, Pete!
