Regina Mcintosh Poet Rhyme

Humbling Mirrors

The image smiling back at me
When the mirror makes me to see
Is someone I don't recognize
Who is that with those baggy eyes?
How could I have changed into this dreadful biddy?

John Lawless September 14, 2014 at 8:13 AM MIRRORS DO NOT REFLECT THE MULTI-DEMENSIONAL NATURE OF OUR BEINGS. Nicely written Regina. Every morning when I look in the mirror I wonder "Who let the old guy in my bathroom?"

Paul Callus September 14, 2014 at 3:22 AM Congratulations Gina! Do not worry about what the mirror shows you; mirrors are there to challenge our wisdom! We have to learn to take their views with a pinch of salt (or anti-aging cream:)) // paul
