The Mirror In the Other Room

The mirror in the other room

has recently filled me with gloom.

One early morn I looked in it

and got freaked out; I looked like S@%#T!

Light so dim revealed the reflection of my doom.


(It was truly freaky that one day. I really hate the mirror in that room!
Gotta get me a prescription of Retin-A right away!)

I don't care what your mirror dearest freind no wrinkling lines can blind to the person of great beauty that lies within your heart and soul. cheri Glad you enjoyed my lighter approach to poetry, I'm doing one light to the dark to keep the natural balance in life, lol cheri

A great take on the challenge. Personally I would get rid of that one mirror. I would get one of those smoky tinted ones. Problem solved. Belated congrats.

Take the mirror down! It is obviously distorted and not reflecting the true you.

thanks for that!!! It's the closet door mirror. So it can't come down. I mean, I show the little lines and wrinkles in all my mirrors, but that one for some reason is just ghastly!!

Well, you will never look like__ because I can tell that your spirit is a wonderful one that would light up your countance..Great idea for a poem..Thanks for the comments on my poem about my cat..She is rough with those claws..She will knead them and purr for she is in her happy place but I am being tormented..She plays the game of sneaking up on me and biting my ankle as well..It is just enough pain for me to make her stop and if you don't the second bite will draw blood..Sara

you are wonderful.Sara, and I know real beauty is on the inside,not the outside, but it is really hard to see these lines appearing where they were not even there at all in my early 50's. Your cat needs a good spanking!!!
