I read this several times to adjust to the amazingly creative visions delivered in this work! The language is rich and varied with extraordinary reach and capture of the reader's imagination, with such a unique subject, thanks for a really enjoyable read.

Comment from frierajac
I like your poem because it reminds me of a famous movie, Shindler's List, which had only one tuch of red in the black and white with grey tones, which was a dress worn by a young girl to indicate life.

Hmm, I saw that movie. It was very memorable. I did not even think of that when writing the poem. Good observation. Thank you for your review.

I like the magic, the story within this. This would make a beautiful children's book, going from gray, to red, to green. Love this entry!!! Blessings....

Comment from Bill Schott
This poem about mirrors, The People, takes on that issue of radical behavior in an otherwise conservative environment. No one appreciates the avant-garde until in becomes trendy or commonplace. Nice poem.

Some nice sentiments on doing your own thing and not being bound by conformity. We all need a bit of colour in a drab world.

Yes, you are completely right. So many just follow the herd mentality. Thank you for your review.
Comment from Day Z Chayn
I'm reminded of the movie PLEASANTVILLE while reading this, especially when Tobey McGuire's mother in that alternate 1950's universe wipes off her makeup for the first timw, only to see the red blush of her cheeks for the first time,
My most favorite (and most ironic part of that movie was when the sign posted said, 'NO COLOREDS' (meaning no one with imagination) was either allowed into or out of the town.
This reads better. Much better.

Comment from Auto-Manic
nice imagery of a drab town with drab people who are shocked at the color red. For God sake, keep the crayons in the box! No colored chalk for the kids either!
nice job...good luck

I thought your poem was enjoyable with a very odd relationship to the mirror . Loved the twist you throw in at the end.Your story lacked little to do with the mirror would like to of seen more reflection and inner action with the poem. good job.

Comment from EverInParadise
This is very clever and may open our eyes to the world around us. I think, if it were me, I may have chosen pink or yellow for the next roof. Well done, and I have no negative things to say. As I read the opening line, I thought this might be a limerick, but you made it so much more than that. Good luck in the challenge.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem. When everyone have to do the same things in the same way, life gets boring very quickly. It takes one person to look outside the box and change one thing, we can take a look in the mirror to see what we can change to make our lives better.
