Randy Freie Poet Rhyme

The Man in the Mirror

When I looked into the mirror 

Saw what I expected to see

But as soon as I got nearer

Saw the reflection wasn't me

Who was this stranger looking back

I didn't recognize the face

Everything seemed to be intact

But there was something out of place 

This called for further inspection 

But then I heard a voice opine

You still think I'm your reflection 

Look again. I'm not yours, you're mine

Then he gave me a wicked grin

As he turned and walked out the door 

I felt my head begin to spin

Now I'm a reflection no more

Gershon Wolf January 2, 2025 at 8:41 PM VERY well done, Randy. Leaves me thinking and re-thinking everything. Thanks. Randy Freie January 2, 2025 at 10:04 PM Thanks Gershon, I wrote that in the middle of my first dose of COVID. Maybe that's why I didn't recognize myself. Lol. I appreciate the positive feedback.
