you can also use this prompt

'Sometimes to truly see your reflection, you have to close your eyes.'

DIFFERENT TYPES OF REFLECTION*:

*puddles
*water
*self-reflection
*other people's reflections
*mirrors
*positive reflections
*degenerate reflections that reflect nothing or show a different output in juxtaposition to the output.

THINGS TO CONSIDER*:

-Emotion
-Colours
-Poetic devices
-Representing things in pairs
-A consistant Structure be it rhyme or free verse
-Be abstract- what if you cant see your reflection clearly
-Do not necessarily show me you as a person, show what you see emotionally, what you feel, How do you feel before and after reflection?, is there a change?

*NO RULES!*

but PLEASE I AM BEGGING YOU! XD the poem represents you
as a talented poet! check it, read through it! to make sure it's ok before you submit.
search for typos, spell check, re-think lines your not sure about!
I know I sound patronising when I say this I am sorry to have to mention it but it's surprising how many poem I where this has not happened.

Make it the best it can possibly be!
Good luck.

      lol I know I have been spending my whole afternoon giving hugely long comments and setting prompts for every single individual and now I am going to die of exhaustion but I have to do my duty as Judge and give everything I have in hope to recieve the same respect and commitment when I read beautiful poems.

      people who complain about poets not taking pride over their poems are mainly judges well us judges are meant to be the sources of encouragement and support for people's minds to bloom, WE! as judges have to Change and help poets who enter to make their poems the best they can be, and share all the knowledge we can. not just write tiny comments or no comment at all becasue when a contest is judged many poems recieve nothing BUT! they have their comment, which should equal a trophy becasue it is recorgnition in the written form, which is what a trophy does, credit for a poem.
      It is the least we can do and should do as JUDGES!
      I MAKE A STAND FOR COMMITMENT!
