Mirror'd

My mirror told me that I had an entertainment ‘glow’,

Then it clarified: I have a face for radio!

A mirror will never lie. Let’s face it, it would be uncouth,

But, trust me, it can be selective how it tells the truth!

I think my mirror needs glasses, ‘cause it fills me with distress

To see myself there looking like a big ol’ blurry mess!

“Wanna see something scary?” said my mirror (once) to me,

Showed a reflection of my bank account. More scary cannot be!

My mirror advised more makeup on my face. Said, ‘Just because’,

I said to stop reflecting back so many of my flaws!

I really love my mirror, cause without it I’d not see,

Reflections of the happy 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!
