Jenna Logan Poet Rhyme

A Covered Mirror

There is a thin layer of dust covering my mirror

   but I must not clean it to make my vision clearer

Like rust spots on an old car; that annoying adherer

   Some things just look worse when you get nearer

Lindsay Laurie January 22, 2021 at 8:10 PM Hello Jenna … very true indeed but your verse goes way beyond images Jenna - Lindsay Jenna Logan January 23, 2021 at 1:32 AM What a great comment, Lindsay, and one most definitely welcomed. Thank you.

David Kavanagh January 22, 2021 at 2:05 PM Wow this is deep Jenna, especially in an age where mobile phones can see every pore on one’s face, just ain’t natural to zoom in that close, so stand back a little everything looks better in normal light and distance, fantastic verse, cheers David Jenna Logan January 23, 2021 at 1:31 AM Hi David. I'm not even sure what prompted these lines, but it's one of those that kind of typed itself. lol Internal rhyme and all. Thanks for visiting my poetry.
