If I Were Made of Glass.

 

If I Were Made Off Glass.

Would You See

The Real Me.

Or.

Would You Just Look

Straight Through.

Me.

    If you were mirror glass, I would be looking at myself πŸ™‚ However, this morning I am looking straight through plate glass and focusing on what’s on the other side. That happens to be a silver birch tree, tresses swaying in a light breeze against a blue sky back drop. Thank goodness for clear glass. Enjoyed the read Tobani.

      Crystal clear this poem. A lovely thought to puzzle over. Many a time I have walked into a glass door not seeing it. Lovely

              I wonder. Probably accidentally jostle and thereby shatter the glass, you know? Never see the real entity, just enjoy the fantasies it culls. Fascinating and pointedly rendered with excellent imagery and a teasing poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

                  Raises an interesting question. We are travelling through the looking glass here

                    A playful poem! This made me smile, but it has a serious side to it too! Some people are more complicated than others -- some you can see right through, others are dark horses in deep waters!

                      Great question that causes each reader to reflect on how they look at and perceive others. Brilliant in its brevity, my friend. Well done on this! πŸŒΉπŸ‘
