Excellent

Your reflection of what you see in the mirror mirrors my reflection of what I see .I especially like
"So what if wrinkles do defile
my face? They're there because I smile!" Let's keep smiling!

This poem expresses internal beauty so well. I like the first 2 stanzas the best. Good luck! Mirror, mirror, that's on the wall,
I see myself but can't recall,
how once I looked in younger days,
now faded snapshots hold my gaze.

This is such a beautiful take on the contest. And it is very skillfully written as well. Every word just flows of the tounge. I do believe this will do exceptionally well in the contest. Good luck

Great rhythm, flows freely. Love your closing "For my true beauty you can't see, it's in the heart and soul of me." Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and if we do not love ourselves, we cannot love others.

I like the honesty of the mirror. It doesn't lie. It tells your appearance but as you said it doesn't tell who you really are.

I like your sentence of saying: "... For my true beauty you can't see,
it's in the heart and soul of me."

Good work.

A bitter-sweet poem about how the passing years change our reflection in the mirror. You also bring out well that the true beauty is inside of us.

I'm so glad mirror, on this day,
I'm not afraid to look your way.
For my true beauty you can't see,
it's in the heart and soul of me.

You did the form proud with this poem. I loved our rhyming and flow. Great artistic presentation and the artwork.

Best of luck in the contest; with a poem of that caliber it should do well.
