I
no longer recognize
you
staring back at me
much to my demise
laughing
as you hit the floor
shattered
faces in the mirror
smile no more

A little spooky, but well put together! The glass is broken, but the vision is clear. You could never look better! (what do you look like?) I'm thinking a cross between Rachel Welch and Sophia Loren! We all have our fantasies! The Shaker

Such a chilling and beautifully penned take on the prompt. Wonderful flow and imagery as this mini saga unfolds into revelation. Poetry is at its best when it can be felt by the reader. You have accomplished that feat in this piece. A most enjoyable read, and best wishes in the comp
