This is a great depiction of the end of year feeling most people have. Sorrow, regret, be it from holiday weight gain or missed opportunity, sometimes the last weeks of a year are the most somber. While everyone focuses on the opportunities the new year brings, sometimes reflecting back on what could have been may lead to a better year ahead.

'I See Me', is an extremely well-written and delightfully descriptive piece. Penned with craft and skill. It was a pleasure to both read and review this talented poet's work. Good luck with the contest! My fingers are crossed for you.

I really enjoyed your poem. It is sad but still manages to be hopeful overall. As someone who struggles with sorting out my life, I can really relate to what you have written in this poem.

The author's words are engaging, clear, interesting and creative. I
pondered on the last stanza which I felt are words to think about. The
poem flows and connects well. The artwork compliments the theme of
this poem. Happy New Year!

You have used good metaphors. Some readers will identify with your hopes for the new year. This may inspire some. Although right now Covid makes it much harder. This is a good topic.

Happy New Year! It's a year for new beginnings so I hope you find your descriptions or characteristics in the state of awe; many times we waste the wonderful moments that we can experience by not looking the right way, even if it is in a mirror.

This work has reached the exceptional level

This truly is profound. A mirror's brutal honesty can cause a prudent one to change their ways...this poem was enjoyable to read and quite deep. This is wonderfully written, too; the rhyming is constant and makes the poem pleasant to read. I also found the rhythm quite enjoyable!

This is an original entry for the contest. It shines truth, no matter how hard it is to except. Ends on a positive note, short but thorough. Thanks for sharing and good luck

The words were perfect and it told me a story.
I think you could have cropped the picture more so I could really see the sadness on your face especially in your eyes.

A poignant poem for the contest. You may need to make some adjustments to the syllable count and the meter here for this to be accepted. If you look at the contest instructions this will guide you. Good luck, love Dolly x
