The Girl in the Mirror
There is a girl in the mirror.
She looks exactly like me,
but if you look at her
you can not know what she is like.
Is she sweet?
Is she friendly?
Honest? Caring? Loving?
Or a liar? And a fake?
And a mean person?
She does not feel.
She can not hear, see
or even speak!
She grows and she ages,
but still does not change.
She looks exactly like me.
She is the "Me" in the Mirror,
But she is nothing like Me!

i loved this poem i loved how you asked questions it made me think, more about myself actually. and thats good, good job and good luck in this contest
-
Not ordinary at all....it really makes you think about what you see...it looks like you but isn't you...
Your words seem to express wonder and confusion...if only we could step outside of ourselves for a moment and see what others see..

ahh, the nasty mirror....a moment of introspection that often leaves one wondering about themselves. Very nicely written. Great job.
Rory -
A nice twist on an idea that is quite old. I liked the flow, and the words...kind of cool, nothing extraordinary, but certainly worth a read and a comment.
-
I like this poem. It flows nicely, and makes you think. I especially loved the lines:
"She grows and she ages,
but still does not change."
You know that whole stanza would be a really good riddle.
Lol, but anyway, this a really good poem...thanks for sharing! -

Thankx again, Nooni

Hmm Funny.I swore I commented on this already!! Oh well!
You have done an amazing job here. I know how it feels to look in the mirror and see someone you know is not there(I don't mean ghosts)LOL.I hate to look in the mirror.It only reminds me of how disguted I am with myself.
The last stanza said it all.
She looks exactly like me.
She is the "Me" in the Mirror,
But she is nothing like Me!
Thanks for sharing this wonderful write!! I truly loved the read!

Wow! I related to another poem I read from one of my classes! I forget what it was called but you made alot like it. I must say that a piece like this is really a pretty good read. I enjoy such things like this: reflective poetry. This piece shows the speaker's feelings and thoughts pretty well too! I think you did real good here. Thank you for writing, it was a nice reminder and a great read. Keep it up!

Wow that is a good poem. I like the end when you say
She looks exactly like me.
She is the "Me" in the Mirror,
But she is nothing like Me!
Cause I think so often like the you, you see in the mirror people judge others by their look when it really isn't them. Well great poem and it seems so different....no unicorns or mermaids. -

Your beautiful poem took me into a journey of time.. when I was so younger.. when my thoughts were still pure. Your poem made me to open my memory notebook after quite a while and find this through my notes:
“I look at the window.. someone is speaking to me: “I belong to you and you belong to me, too. I need you and you need me. I tell you the truth so tell me the truth, too. I show you “Myself” so show me “Yourself”, too. I’ll seem silly if you seem silly. I’ll be a lie if you change into a lie. If I’m broken, be sure that someone else will tell you these.
So put your hand in my hand and join to my nightly privacy. Break the mirror of being “I”. Let’s be “We”..
Yeah, now welcome to my Eternal Solitude!”
Maybe now you believe of the good feeling you forgave your readers.
Thanks for your beautiful poem Nooni joon (It wasn’t ordinary at all)

Excellent
In this poem you explore reality and illusion, your image represents everything that you might be, similar to when a stranger looks at us. The image could be anything. I really like how you end the poem. The reality is a human being with thoughts and feelings. I thought this poem was excellent with a lot of insight. -
this is is is WONDERFUL AWESOME

good
There is a girl in the mirror.
She looks exactly like me,
but if you look at her
you can not know what she is like.
Is she sweet?
Is she friendly?
Honest? Caring? Loving?
Or a liar? And a fake?
And a mean person?
I loved the first stanza becuz it was a personal thing fo me..like..i remember myself looking in the mirror asking myself all these same questions..and the answer was never really shown..i just had to accept me for me..
She looks exactly like me.
She is the "Me" in the Mirror,
But she is nothing like Me!
i liked this becuz it ended the poem well and i can also relate to this..becuz i see me in the mirror but then again...it isnt me,...hard to understand but its true.. Keep up the great work. I hope u do good in the contest..
xoxo

I like this poem is great I have looked in the mirror before and just stared at myself wondering what people see in me. How I come across to them. A great write I like alot. Good luck in the contest.
-
i liked this piece, has good meaning and feelings behind it. Great write
-
Bravo
Mirror mirror on the wall. Who is the fairest of them all.
Why Noonie of course.Strange that makes me think.When I look at myself I don't like what I see.But others do? Do we really look at our reflections, or do we see more.
Nah!!! I am happy with me just as you should be Noonie.
Well done thought provoking may have to write about this sometime.

Thank you soo much Dani. I'm glad you like it. I'll see what I can do.

I like the idea of looking at yourself in the mirror and seeing that your reflection is just the outer shell, so to speak. I think this piece could use a little editing for grammar and to improve the flow, but it definitely has enormous potential. Best of luck.
