Exceptional

I found the poem truest to the satirical message required of the writing prompt.
It well written to form; totally fitting artwork and the a humorous slant we all take when looking at our image in the mirror which somehow just seems a bit "not me"......Good work!

Thank goodness age comes upon us gradually and we get used to getting older day by day. In your case, you say you don't look at yourself, so I'm not surprised you are surprised at what you see. Marilyn

i guess the mirror is one thing we all have in common, and it's interesting to learn the different ways folks think of what they see. Hmm. That might make a good contest prompt. "What do you see in your looking glass?"
Thanks for your comments, Marilyn.

This meets the contest requirements splendidly by adhering to the theme and syllable count restrictions. I guess it can be a surprise when you still see yourself as a pretty dapper dude. I wish you all the best in the voting and thank you very uch for sharing it.

Never a dapper dude, but somehow I still expect to see the same old younger me. ?? Thanks for compliments and good wishes!

I love it. I am sure that we all have those moments. Short but powerful statement. It gave me quite a scare when I had my moment, but quite a laugh you brought back the memory. Thank you.
