In My Reflections

by Michael  Falotico

                                           I write with mirrors that don't reflect..
                                       That cascade visions that you can't dissect..
                                 You can climb into my mind and twist in the breeze..
                                       Play in my dreams and write as you please..
                             Or lay dormant on the shores of my soul like naked glass..
                                      And feel safe and free till your ship has passed..

Hi Michael. This begins with a great title! I like the 2 objects you described that unnaturally don't reflect...this shows your resistance to be transparent in your work. Very revealing write! Hey, let's do a collab of our infamous paperclip collection! lol. Good luck with Judy's contest! Gwendolen

Michael, I just read the three winners of this particular contest and honestly (though the winners were fine) I think this one here is also just wonderful. I wonder why not ten winners to capture these other entries such as yours!!

Michael, you really got me with that first line, writing with mirrors don't reflect.. this is awesome, almost like your words are little vampires that suck the emotion from the reader, in a good way of course!! Excellent poetry and a fine entry for the contest, good luck.
