Broken Mirror
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Indeed, or...perhaps it is not the mirror that is broken after all. We\'re all a little broken, some more than others, so we can\'t judge the mirror! Or so an aspiring Wise Man Say 🤣. Wonderfully profound poem and deserves to be more faved than it already is, my dear friend! I have now helped that cause! 👏🌹

The Dream I Wanted.
Cheeky Missy said:
Exquisitely painful in conclusion, how very beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a keenly haunting poignancy. Perspective is another angle, perhaps, to pursue, as I guess I had an oddly cheerful perspective on my own early years. Thank you very much for sharing. I wish I could comfort you.

Blade In My Hand.
Cheeky Missy said:
The tongue is neither shiny nor appears to be a blade which can be sheathed, yet my late mother warned me too many years ago about how much like a scimitar mine was and against using it freely in that regard. Likewise, in the battle of kill or be killed, I learned painfully that I\'d rather be the victim than the murderer, and again, not so evidently as a knife battle proves. Ergo, it\'s a painfully relevant discussion raised. Excellently rendered with exquisite imagery and a painfully resonating poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Hahaha! Peering at oneself in the shards of a perfect reflection, when the situation itself is a metaphor of damnation in the fables is an interesting predicament indeed. Fascinating and disarmingly rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Scary world we are in. I need not even begin to bring up the gun violence plaguing my country. I need not even say which country \"my country\" is when mentioning gun violence. 🙄 Anywho, wonderful and timely write, my friend. 🙏🌹👏

Indeed it is broken and gone to pieces lol This poem puts a positive spin on loss and what is gained. Very positive and progressive. If we could only put such a perspective on all elements in our life it would be so much easier and the load lighter. I wonder if such a mirror would see a person as a multiple personality. Ah just thinking.

Kind of a terrifying piece of poetry. What is the world coming to if we have to exist in conditions such as this. Is there no hope for mankind? Your poem shines light on situations that spell disaster for future times. Will the world be a place of armed camps? Kill or be killed? Not such a pretty picture, but you\'ve painted it well. Enjoyed this read. - Phil A.

This poem has an important message that more people should practice. It can be a narcissistic world unfortunately. People often forget the feelings of others.

Nataiella another powerful write of dominance, power, maintaining one\'s turf and respect. This extends beyond the literal knife to the symbolic knife wielded in life. Nicely written

There\'s a lot of it about. Not only knives, it\'s machetes, bloody great blades. And only one Aust state has made the grave decision to ban them after a gang rumble in a large shopping mall (can\'t be having that, it might frighten the customers - it did actually...)
You have nailed it in your write.

You\'re so hilarious in this, concluding on that seeming conundrum, I almost gag on laughter. Turns out we\'ve been fooled in the doctrine it\'s round, guess it must truly be flat. Oh, but I dearly love this piece! How beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and superb good humor with a delightfully haunting poignancy. Thank you so very much for sharing.

Wow. How very beautiful, yet so bittersweet, akin to the darkest chocolate which seems like chalk in the mouth until it melts, yielding a subtle sweetness. Gorgeous and excellently rendered with lovely imagery and a haunting, damning poignancy. Thank you very much for sharing. I\'m sorry you\'ve suffered thus.
