The Not So Friendly Mirror

Form. Florette 2. Wrote for contest but didnt submit. (I chickened out) Mirrors reveal what you can't hide The rolls of fat your large backside The legs once slim now plump and veined The face once smooth now lines remain. Yet dimples showing that you are smiling inside.

It has just occurred to me. That's probably why entry did so poorly.

Oh by the way you forgot to mention this was a fantasy write. We all know poems don't work if you write "I looked in the Mirror. Perfect! The End."

Very good Florette Serene, I hate looking in the mirror but what you see is you and only you and as Peter said it is what is in your heart that counts, excellent piece. Take care...............Vera..............

Hi Vera, yes that's true, it is you that reflects back. Luckily so far the reflection is ok, when and if I catch up to the rhyme, I will accept it as being me....thanks for stopping by ....Seren
