Mirror'd
My mirror told me thatI had an entertainment ‘glow’,Then it clarified: Ihave a face for radio!
A mirror will neverlie. Let’s face it, it would be uncouth,But, trust me, it canbe selective how it tells the truth!
I think my mirrorneeds glasses, ‘cause it fills me with distressTo see myself therelooking like a big ol’ blurry mess!
“Wanna see somethingscary?” said my mirror (once) to me,Showed a reflection ofmy bank account. More scary cannot be!
My mirror advised moremakeup on my face. Said, ‘Just because’,I said to stopreflecting back so many of my flaws!
I really love mymirror, cause without it I’d not see,Reflections of thehappy girl I really want to be!
Cause Mondays do get knocked a lot,
With poetry, we all besought
To try to make the week begin
With gentle thoughts,
Perhaps a grin?
So Karen , Charlotte, Mimi, me
Have crafted poems for you to see.
And now you’ve read what we have wrought…
Did we help?
Or did we not?
Next week, there's no muss or fuss...When Teddy Bears, we will discuss!
Thinking of joining us for Poetry Monday?We'd love to welcome you!Topics for the next few weeks (with a huge thank-you to Mimi, who comes up with so many of them!)...
