Eddy In the Mirror

A long hard look softens to the touch life lines rivers that ebbed and flowed the midstream upstream fight has left its nicks and scars but the brooks that babbled batting lashes that sent splashes over laugh line rapids and pooled in floods of pain have all eventually come to swirl in the curled corners of an ultimately unerodible smile 11.26.2019 The Metaphor of your Face Poetry Contest Sponsored by John Lawless

Awesome write. Love the way you equate the changes of time to a river constantly changing its riverbed, not all changes a bad though.

"but the brooks that babbled batting lashes that sent splashes over laugh line rapids", super imagery and metaphor here.
