Comment from Bill Schott
This mirror poem, A Reflection of Me, presented with four rhyming couplets, suggests there are the real person and the shallow reflection. One is all image and pretense, while the other is reality.
I found this:
All the bits of forgotten bliss now (occupy) my musings.
The subject is the plural word *bits*. *Bliss* is the object of the preposition,

Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Excellent entry for the Mirror contest. I like the idea of seeing yourself in the mirror and describing what you see. Many of us feel this way.
Great presentation and imagery. It flows well with descriptive words that paint a clear poetic vision..
Good luck in the contest.

Comment from GARY MACLEAN
Yes, I can feel it. I have been there. Mirrors, actual physical mirrors, are amazing devices. They can do many things to someone's perception and the way they see themselves. Sometimes we can look through the mirror as you have in this poem.
Good job

The author's words are engaging, descriptive, clear and creative.
These words are deep and reflect so much. It was also interesting
to read. The poem flows and connects well. Thank you for the
author's notes. The artwork compliments these words.

Comment from Fleedleflump
That's a powerful closing line, bringing closure to this considered and interesting piece. I've often wondered if mirrors can hold memories I store for good or ill. Nicely done.

Comment from cat frenette
What a wonderful poem!
I love your use of imagery, and how you met the contest requirements without standing in front of a physical mirror.
I especially like the line where you summed it all up "To see the reverse, a world apart, as the abyss reflects the stare." I loved your wordplay.
Best of luck with the contest!

Your poem is thought provoking. What you say is true concerning our past and the fact that our face has a story to tell. Thank you for sharing with the group.

This is a nice variation of the usual prompts, and I think you did a great job of visually and verbally showing a parallel world with a mirror. I wish you the best in the contest.
