An Acrostic Reflection

r andomly I stare into
e ach reflective surface
f orever pondering the
l ines of age, pain and joy
e ach one a splendid testament
c ulled from a full life
t eased endlessly, eternally
i nto distorted images
o f the soul of me

s eeing..I

s urely, I am 
n ot this shallow
o nly time can plane my cheek
i nsight my eyes to fade
t urn the plumpness of lip to
c rinkles of mirth
e nlivening the gray
l anguishing in silver
f orever seeing but parts of the
e cstasy I
r eflect

Love the way you you reversed the word and used it both ways. Yes, I think I am wearing myself a bit thin with traveling and babysitting and trying to move the kids. Will be glad when they are here in Jan. Only a couple of months left. It has been a tough year for me and very stressful. Hope the new year will ease things up for me. Thanks for asking. Love phyl

LOVE it! I like how you've practically reflected the world 'reflections', and how you've shown the physical and emotional reflection. I'd say that's reflection on three fonts. Nicely done!

Mirror mirror on the wall Debbie? I like the third line of second verse. "Only time can plane my cheek" True, because if we don't allow the cares of this life to get the better of us, then it's effect wont be showing on our faces. May not be where you were taking this, but my take on it. So Teach, please check out my latest Frozen Heart Haiku...let me know if I did ok with them...thanks much and one love, Joy Wells

OH! I love this... you know how I am about the perfect word, right? CULLED? BANG ON. I see this top side. I'm just reading and losing myself in poetry for a bit. Emotionally spent. Disappointed in myself. I dare not write for this contest... hugs, SIN
