Notes About The Poem
Is there truly an image in these words? Look closely and you be the judge.

Mirrors Are Meant To Be Broken

A miraculously flat prison
A site of utter allocution
Bearing witness to decision
Beholding not of retribution
Conversations with it an act of utter futility
Covering does not instill a sense of humility
Dimensionally free 
Damning still is thee
Efficacy is still eluding
Escapism found brooding
Finally, a simple pathway to contrition
Fracture this mirror, my final decision

I will make it definite point of checking that one out! I'm truly honored that you have made so many comments on so many of my writings. I know for a fact I have not thanked Maureen enough for pointing you out to me. A deficiency that I will definitely remedy! Warmly A.S.

Deeo. It's something how we are cracked first before we ever crack the mirror. I liked the lines " Covering does not instill a sense of humility"-- well done!
