A Stranger In My Mirror Comments

mirror mirror on the wall...! !

Mirror is an effective tool that can reflect our hidden emotions....It is not just a bodily reflection but our own consciousness staring at us...It is true, it becomes extremely difficult to meet eyes with our reflection when we do not have a clear conscience! ! ! ! ...good write! ! ! ! ! !

The splendid title mirrors beautifully the poetic subject of this poem - one which is both insightful and elusive. Your final stanza is very fine indeed, but the middle of the poem says too much, I believe. You don't need to dot every I and cross every T in order to get your message across. Some careful editing would improve this excellent poem. I was also intrigued by a couple of colloquial expressions which jarred a bit - 'what floored me' and 'kiboshed my contemplations'. Nonetheless, you are certainly a poet worth reading. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I loved this piece, a wonderfully brilliant look at ones self, insightful and delightful writing. another 10

The mirror always has much to say, yet the questions it always asks of the reflection are never easy to answer - you've capture the essence of such a concept - bravo!

This is a great concept on which I read few poems and stories earlier. Well composed. But I felt the poem was stretched too long, with some repitition especially in second stanza. Overall this is a great effort. One of the best poems I ever read. A little economy of words would have made it ever better.
