A poem that on reflection is truly inspirational? , .., ......well penned Spike
Thought provoking poem; beauty or ugliness sometimes deceives us but can’t do the same with the mirror, which in general speaks the truth. On the contrary, a ‘perfect’ blindness may also take us to the Truth what a mirror can’t do! Chandan
Such a beautiful depiction of love! ! Excellent drop. Like to read it again and again.
The mirror's judgement is her own, while the blind boy's is from a person's imagination.
A usually extremely funny poet but also with this depth of feeling..
So succinct and so beautiful.Beauty lies in our perception- - -I love the line- 'A smile of dove-secret loveliness.'
O how beautiful the poem is! So simply written but too brilliant /// Mirror has real eyes which depicts our reality but we the blind can't see or find our own reality!
To turn a poem like this you need a certain amount of insight and humour.
Astounding poem on what we choose to believe and internalize. Brilliant
Very pretty poem
