Miranda Hawley Poet Etheree

The Window and the Mirror

Liar, liar glass encased in a frame
you offer a clear view of the world 
or so you claim.  The world that is
perceived through you, is sparkling,
shiny and brand spanking
new.  Liar, liar 
in the bathroom
beauty I
wish I
saw.

John Loving Iii June 10, 2023 at 3:04 PM Contradictions both oppinions. Even for a poet. Miranda Hawley June 10, 2023 at 4:55 PM Two different clear pieces of glass, and two different stories.

Andrea Dietrich January 23, 2023 at 2:34 PM Yes, mirrors hide so much which is inside the person. I always enjoy reading a poem in this form! Miranda Hawley January 23, 2023 at 3:23 PM Thank you for alerting me to this style of writing. I am happy though that a syllable counter is a thing, it made this fairly easy to use.

Linda Alice Fowler January 23, 2023 at 10:57 AM I love this Miranda. Mirrors can be so deceitful (and the light too) :)) Miranda Hawley January 23, 2023 at 10:59 AM Yes, they can be deceiving especially to anyone with low self esteem.
