Wow, I can't stop being impressed by the fact that you can say so much in just a few words and make it sound so beautiful. All in all, I really enjoyed reading this poem, it's awesome.

    These 'short forms' are perfect for a working person, May -- they can be done in a short amount of time since they require no rhyme or rhythm that always take me quite a while!! ;) :) Thanx for your review, ma'am, and have a great day! ;) Yvette

This 5-7-5, Clear Vision, has the right set up and suggests that first we must look at the person in the mirror to see an evil doer. That mirror is disgusting by the way.

well, that's one I think could be taken several ways. hmmm
It's not always easy to spot?
Open mind and clear vision makes it easier?
the accuser better look within her/him self?
Did I get it right, teach?

I like this art, but the poem itself of course is what we're reading. I see hard C alliteration with 'Confronting' and 'clean' as an amazing little sandwich form here. It's the kind of line that would also lend itself to a longer poem, if so desired, later on.

Hello Anon
Very, very good. A complete (and interesting) thought in such a small format.
It reads like the best aphorisms - i.e. something your mother always said...
A busy contest, because of teh small/short format, but I expect you will do really well with this.
cheers
phill

Very beautiful little poem. A little philosophical. No doubt , evil is everywhere, but confronting an evil is quite difficult and different, she presents the idea in a very simple way. Symbolically the poem reflects that consciousness is necessary to be alive to confront an evil. Mirror has different interpretation in literature and lights the selflessness of a person. Great poem, great idea.

This is kind of a spooky poem which reminds me of the book "The Portrait of Dorian Gray," where the painting aged along with his evil deeds. It is an excellent contest entry and the image is a fitting complement.

Oh yes indeed! Wow! Simply wow! The way you managed to convey such a deep message in mere 3 lines and fewer syllables speaks volumes about your writing skills. I have a feeling already that this will be a winning entry. I certainly will be voting for this one!
Yes, one can not look to the outside before facing and wiping out the evil that exists within! Well done
